There a few periods in fashion history as iconic as the Swinging Sixties. Although characterised by The Beatles, inky-lashed \u201cyouthquakers\u201d such as Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton and the streamlined \u201cmod\u201d fashions as spotted around Carnaby Street in London\u2019s West End, nothing quite epitomises the moment as much as Mary Quant\u2019s mini skirt. Even if nowadays the invention of the revolutionary garment is more widely attributed to French couturier <\/span>Andr\u00e9 Courr\u00e8ges, nonetheless Quant is widely regarded as the mastermind behind its unprecedented popularity. Worn with brightly coloured tights, Quant\u2019s minis embodied a new era of women\u2019s liberation.<\/span><\/p>\n

But beyond her contribution to shortening hemlines and its significance at a time when women were gaining more and more freedoms, Quant lent her design expertise to an array of other projects and offshoots of her brand. \u00a0A new exhibition, titled simply as <\/span>Mary Quant<\/span><\/i>, opening tomorrow at the V&A charts the influence of the Welsh designer from 1955 to 1975, highlighting her far-reaching impact on British style that spans far more than just the mini. \u00a0<\/span>Following on from the success of <\/span>Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams<\/a>, Mary Quant <\/a><\/span><\/i>brings together 120 garments<\/span> as well as accessories, cosmetics and photographs to offer a comprehensive insight into her innovations across fashion, branding, visual merchandising, cosmetics, home interiors and lifestyle. There\u2019s a lot more to Quant than the mini, so here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although Quant is most famously associated with the mini skirt, she is also credited with popularising hot pants in the late \u201860s. According to Quant, her provocative hot pants \u201csold faster than (they) could make them.\u201d But not only was Quant encouraging women to get their legs out, but in the early \u201860s she designed trousers that borrowed from classic men\u2019s tailoring including knickerbocker suits and Victorian tweeds. The insinuation was to promote female independence through radically new and easy-to-wear clothes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It might be common knowledge that Quant revolutionised women\u2019s fashion with her easy-to-wear garments, but her contributions to cosmetics were also highly significant. In October 1966, driven by a desire to streamline women\u2019s cosmetics, she introduced her first \u2018paint box\u2019 \u2014 a white plastic container with a mirror on the inside of the lid, with three eye shadows, an eye liner, mascara and two lipsticks. Stamping the box with her trademark daisy motif, the paint box was designed to make the whole process of applying make-up efficient and fuss free. Even the fact that the paint box was made out of plastic is noteworthy \u2014 up to this point cosmetics came sealed in gilded boxes. Quant\u2019s cosmetics were not only renowned for their slick, new packaging but also for their quirky names \u2014 shadows came in luminous shades of \u2018Cherry pop\u2019 and \u2018Banana Shine\u2019. Quant made make-up fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing to prove that you\u2019ve made it, it\u2019s getting a doll made in your honour. In \u201872, Quant launched her Daisy Doll with the tagline, \u201c<\/span>Mary Quant makes Daisy the best dressed doll in the world.”<\/span> Launched a decade or so after Barbie and Sindy, Daisy was a slightly smaller figurine, attired in the latest Mary Quant fashions: mini skirts and hot pants, platform boots and neat plastic raincoats. The fashionable outfits were miniatures of Quant\u2019s designs, made by the same team who created the full-size versions. Along with Daisy sticker books and paper doll albums, Quant launched Daisy\u2019s tomboy younger sister, Havoc, in 1974, whose rebellious style more closely resembled Quant\u2019s own.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the early 1970s, Quant turned her attention to household interiors. Unlike her cutting-edge fashion designs, her foray into household products was a lot tamer \u2014\u00a0she designed a range of glazed mugs for Staffordshire Pottery and an entire household line including bedding, fabric curtains, roller blinds and wallpaper to create a \u201ctotal Quant\u201d look for the home. Quant\u2019s distinctive fashion designs ensured that her name was shorthand for modern and youthful good taste and this carried over into home decor. Quant said that the “home is an extension of the self\u201d and as with her garments, her homeware displayed her signature appreciation of bright colours against neutral tones. <\/span><\/p>\n
