Television is a terrific stimulus to fashion. What Cathy McGowan wears on Ready, Steady, Go! may be in your High Street dress shop a matter of days later in a mass-produced copy. And John Steed’s immaculate Avenger image has played its part in the male peacock revolution. For our television issue here is an ‘outside broadcast’ collection of action clothes.

Produced by Prudence Glynn. Camera by John Beale.

Scanned by Miss Peelpants from Woman’s Mirror, October 1965.
