MaryMary Quant & Lovely



Oh how dreary how dull life might have been were it not for the
fabulous Mary Quant! Best known for the Mini-Skirt.


The Mary Quant inspired "mod" or "Chelsea look"
redefined the 60's & changed fashion forever.


So...
Thank you Mary Quant for :
Knee-high boots
White patent plastic lace ups
Tight, skinny rib sweaters in stripes and bold checks
Plastic raincoats
Geometric Tights
Little Grey Pinafore Dresses
PaintBox Cosmetics &
Yes, even for the HOT PANTS!


"I had always wanted young people to have a fashion of their own, absolutely 20th century fashion"


"Fashion should not exist for the priveleged few, but for Everyone."



"The fashionable woman wears clothes. The clothes don't wear her."

"Fashion is not frivolous. It is a part of being alive today. "

"Good taste is death, vulgarity is LIFE!"
