“As Quant put it, a woman should to be able to run to catch a bus.” https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2023/04/mary-quant-british-fashion-designer-miniskirt-legacy/673731/?utm_source=feed

Lunga vita a #MaryQuant
(e alla minigonna), contro tutto e tutti.

It’s been a bit of a week, so I’m starting #WeekendSewingClub early. I’ve been drafting out a super-simple sheath dress. I’ve tissue fitted it, and first I’m trying it out proper in this wonderful black houndstooth jacquard - short sleeves, and mini length as a mark of respect to #MaryQuant 🫡.

If it goes well there is a rather exciting plan for escalation…

"The newfangled stretch fabrics she favored freed the wearer from constriction; pockets added convenience. Her looks were often accessorized with colorful tights and flat shoes. Quant said she wanted to create designs that women could 'run to the bus in.'"

RIP the incomparable Mary Quant. Her designs were so creative and utterly iconic of an era. I was really sorry I didn’t get to visit the exhibition when it was touring NZ.

"Only the Beatles are more closely tied to the legend that is London’s swinging 60s than Mary Quant. If the Fab Four wrote the soundtrack, Quant designed the look."
