#5: Original Project Runway
As a kid, so many different things fascinate you and your creative mind. Not every toy is going to be for everyone, and that’s why it was important for toys like Fashion Plates from TOMY to exist. Not only did they allow you to have a creative outlet, but they were also super sleek and made you feel like a real fashion designer.
The summer of 1978 was a good time for so many kids, as TOMY had just released their Fashion Plates. Not only did the plates allow you to trace full outfits, but they also allowed you to trace patterns, from polka dots to checks on top of the garments. Being able to mix and match patterns and outfits made all the difference!
