Description
MARY QUANT IS FASHION.
Not many names epitomise an era, but Mary Quant is one such name. Her life, her ideas and her style touched everyone.
Most people connect Mary with one thing - the mini skirt - that ground-breaking design that is as potent now as it was when it first appeared in the early sixties. But her influence carried way beyond those early, frenetic black-and-white years. This, Mary Quant's memoir, is written in her own inimitable style - it's a witty, unique account of her whirlwind life. It is a story like no other.
But then, Mary Quant was a true original.
