1960s London fashion designers
If you're interested in adding to either, I will be nominating both Rupert Lycett Green and Michael Rainey for DYK (co-credits available!) on or shortly before 7 June. I started with Prince Rupert Loewenstein, then Christopher Gibbs - there are plenty of fascinating characters in 1960s London. Edwardx (talk) 13:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Edwardx! Brilliant - I'm glad you're tackling this kind of thing. So many candidates for articles here - I can think of quite a few other fashion designers/associated characters that need articles too. Lycett Green had been on my list for a while because he's on the Dress of the Year list and I keep meaning to try and sort articles for all the designers on there... but never seem to have time!

 * Thanks for adding to Lycett Green. If you want to mention the others here or on my talkpage, I'll see what I can do. But, there is indeed never enough time. Edwardx (talk) 14:09, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Off the top of my head, Thea Porter comes to mind. She was a major 60s/70s fashion designer with quite a presence and is definitely article-worthy and I'm surprised she still lacks one. Kiki Byrne and Alice Pollock, too. But I probably should do those myself. Will think and see if anyone comes to mind. Mabalu (talk) 14:16, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm always a bit conflicted when someone starts an article that I've been meaning to do, but I know the right thing is to feel happy that they feel as I do about a subject, and then collaborate. After all, there's no shortage of interesting people and other new topics to write about. Edwardx (talk) 21:07, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Just went ahead and whistled up an article on Kiki. Mabalu (talk) 00:45, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Most impressive for something you just "whistled up". Edwardx (talk) 22:14, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I've started Thea Porter, but will have to stop for today. You are, of course, most welcome to join in. Edwardx (talk) 23:08, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I saw - great start! Will happily add in some more info on her. :) Mabalu (talk) 23:10, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
