September 26th Fashion Parade: Get The Look: Emma Peel

Heroine extraordinaire, Mrs. Emma Peel (inimitably played by Diana Rigg) was part of the team that made up the British TV show The Avengers, along with John Steed (Patrick MacNee).

Her 1965-67 stint was a heyday for the show not only because of the acting and story writing, but because of Mrs. Peel's wardrobe, first designed by John Bates, and later Alun Hughes.

Bates created mod minis for Mrs. Peel before they had become mainstream, and she was also known for her fighting suits, used for her highly accomplished martial arts and fencing scenes.

This fall, take on diabolical masterminds in style…Emma Peel style.

Thank you for posting Mary!

Emma Peel is my ultimate heroine, and I've listed a number of items, including patterns for the DIY Mrs. Peels. These are all in my Etsy store.

Anyone else? I'm planning to write a blog this week about Mrs. Peel, and would love to feature VFG members!
