MISS MOUSE
British Boutique label of the Seventies started by the late Rae Spencer-Cullen. Rae moved in notorious creative circles with the likes of Duggie Fields, Zandra Rhodes and the artist Luciana Martinez de la Rosa. She was also involved in Andrew Logan's now legendary Alternative Miss World contests, creating the hostess's gown in 1978.
Miss Mouse clothes were usually cute-with-a-twist, using brightly coloured novelty prints and trims in very Thirties/Forties style silhouettes. Rae used a signature spotty bow in both her prints and on the later woven label. The distinctive 'with love and kisses' satin label appears to have been the earliest Miss Mouse label.
