Mary Quant
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"In the mid-1960s British fashion was becoming increasingly daring and outrageous, driven by the youth-oriented culture of Swinging London. Boutiques such as Biba, designers like Mary Quant, and television personalities like Cathy McGowan who popularized them became celebrated as much as the entertainers who wore their mod clothes."--Sholem Stein |
