British toy designer Rachel Godfroy joins host Louisa Maxwell to celebrate over sixty years of fashion doll Sindy.
Sindy was launched in 1963 by Pedigree toys at a time when British fashion and music were sweeping the world. The Beatle’s topped the charts with “She Loves You” and Mary Quant’s mini skirts set off a youth quake in fashion. Sindy was a doll created for the British market and she reflected the culture and fashion of a very exciting time.
Louisa and Rachel chart the course of fashion doll Sindy throughout her six decades and her enduring legacy as a time capsule of popular culture and fashion.
Rachel Godfroy, who has worked in the Toy industry for twenty years as a designer, illustrator, and brand developer and was the designer for Sindy’s relaunch in 2020.
