Message From Angora Fedora:
Manager of The First Colleen Corby Fan Community
- These models remind us of ...are metaphors for...are
representations of something or of someone significant to
ourselves. Icon is from the Greek word "eikon" which means
image. To me this website is beyond being about pretty people
or celebrity sorts. This site is important because it represent a
key historical period, and closer to home, it represents many
different things in the lives of each one of us personally.
For instance, when I see Colleen Corby, I think of times, places
and events in my own experiences that shaped my life; these
memories form (to quote the cotton people lol) the fabric of our
lives. These times, places and events are a part of who we are.
Colleen along with the other models are like starter dough,
inspiring us to remember, cherish, & embrace various time
periods that form the warp and woof of our own lives.
In that sense, it's not about Colleen or the other models at all.
It's about certain time periods & many of our own personal
notions, experiences, and memories the models inadvertently
represent.
But of course, it is also about all of these wonderful people who,
as models, are gifted chameleons and marvelous hard working
actors, among other things. It is fascinating to witness their
reliving of the classic moments. Their comments bring clarity to
the images.
We are all on a journey. These talented models and sometimes
muses have charted intriguing waters. I love to hear their tales.
Moreover, I always appreciate their brilliant variety of looks.
I happen to believe that the sixties models are the most
beautiful, refreshing and inspiring lot in the history of modeling.
I wonder if they comprehend their significant place in history.

| Lost and Found The website has brought together old friends in tearful reunions. In fashion studios and in their homes hundreds of photographers and models look at the pictures as if skimming through the pages of a current fashion magazines. Many Sixties Super Models write that they are delighted to find images that they had lost and thought they would never recover. Others have saved all their pictures and have donated them to our archives. These are very valuable because in many cases they are able to identify the photographers and designers and make-up artists. |

We are engaged in the daunting task of archiving the fashion, beauty and commercial images of the top fashion models of
the Sixties. We are endeavouring to preserve an era that some of us have been privileged to witness This chronicle reflects
the lifestyle and the cutting edge trends in New York and the rest of the USA, as well as emerging trends in Paris, London
and Milan. Our library of images covers the Malt Shop Era of the Fifties through the Swinging Sixties, as the Baby Boomers
were growing up.
There was no Internet in the 60s so many of these images have been lost. Like Wikipedia, miniMadMOD60s is an
independent research project lovingly created by unpaid volunteers who comb through stacks of old magazines to find, scan
restore and catalog these rare images and identify the models.
