- Title
Rediscovering Mattli: A Forgotten 1950s London Couturier.
- Authors
Ness, Caroline; Brooks, Mary M.
- Abstract
Based on the author's research for her MA, supervised by Mary M. Brooks, this article examines the history of the little-documented but once famous London couturier, Mattli (1903/1904-1982). An argument is made for a re-evaluation of the importance of Mattli's contribution to the post-war British fashion and textile industry which has so far been overlooked in the histories of fashion. Research is focused upon a wide range of sources, including a collection of press books from the Mattli archive at the Fashion Museum, Bath, and extant clothing in British collections.
