i came across a mention of a dress displayed during London Fashion Week 1964? 1965? made from panels of metal once part of the TSR.2 a sortv ‘swords to ploughshares’ sortv thing i guess,
a long shot i know but has anyone out there ever seen an image of the design? would be interesting to find out a little more about its designer and even if the item stil survives
cheers, Joe

aha, ill try making some enquiries re the pcb/avionics angle, many thanks
iv a couple of module units from the TSR.2 TFR unit which would make for an ‘interesting’ necklace if joined together as a ring :dev2:

Yes it does look good, I bet it was cold and a bit sharp to wear!
Now then, back to the TSR 2 Dress – I mentioned it to someone and they said they thought that they remembered it in the newspapers from the time, but it was made from the PCB’s from the Avionics of the TSR 2 ?

Paco Rabanne Metal Disc clothing 1969 – I think it looks fab!

Got one of his ties, too. Had a good look, but no signs of any bits of aeroplane, TSR2 or otherwise.

He also made a horrid Cologne 😀

During this period of time, or perhaps a little later, a designer called Paco Rabanne made dresses from oblong bits of metal? Just a thought?

Just a guess ..but i think you should look at Mary Quant..she was the queen of sixties avant garde fashion
