Farewell to one of the most famous fashion designers of the 1960s. Even if we couldn't afford her designs we copied them and made our own, her tailoring and simple designs were great. So was her hair cut, still around today.
I have a tale. With some spare cash as a student I bought an off the peg cheap sales dress designed by Mary Quant. It was made from a cotton jersey fabric, a shift dress, which was a very popular style. The only problem was it was bright yellow with big horizontal red stripes across the top and a plain yellow skirt. It was a bit bright to say the least.
I got on the bus with a fellow student, the dress was folded up in a bag on my knee. My male companion, spotting the dress leaned over and whispered in my ear...why don't you burn it...
Thus ended my one venture into the world of Mary Quant, but I still think she was one of the best.
