I was a schoolgirl in the 60s but I saved up and bought one Mary Quant dress. It was a lime green shift dress with a wide belt at the hip. I felt like a fab chick when I wore it!

She was truly amazing. Where would British fashion be now, without her designs ? RIP Mary Quant. 😢

I doubt hairdressers today could do any of the haircuts from the 60s and the 70s......even the 80s......at least here in the USA...😢. We can't even have the same quality of fabric today....I'm so glad we still have her clothing to look upon ❤

Unfortunately due to vivid restrictions I couldn't visit (my sister who lives in Dundee visited twice). Thank you for bringing the tour to me. I remember these wonderful fashions. I hope to visit the V&A soon.

For me personally Dior and his New Look were not revolutionary. They were reactionary. The designs were throwbacks to the time his mother was young and dressed like the upper class, wealthy woman she was in the 1900s and 1910s. The New Look brought back restrictive lingerie and the concept of woman as display object. To me, Mary Quant liberated the body from all that. She was the post-WWII revolutionary designer. Her loose fitting, youthful styles allowed a wide range of body movements needed for the lifestyle and dancing style popular in the 1960s. Not all the loose styles look great now: sometimes they look cookie cutter like. The thing is, though, the styles defined a younger generation of consumers who had money to spend. No longer did wealthy upper class women define fashion. Now there were younger peope influencing the trends.
