Mary Quant holds such a dear place in fashion's heart because she was really one of us. Not a man designing for women and not a mother designing for her daughter but a hip young woman really sort of designing for herself. To understand the Quant style, all you have to do is look at old photos of Mary and you'll see that she is everything herself that she expected her customer to be. Not only did she have that insanely hip Vidal Sassoon haircut (the first to have it, mind you) but she sported tiny minis with striped jumpers and looked amazing in 'em. Her proportions were quirky too - sometimes a massive blouson top that would serve as a pull-on jacket over a slim skirt that hit above the knee. This one, done in pumpkin and black wool tweed, it has that typical wide black V neckline that was always present in her mid-60's collections. Kangaroo pocket and deeo dolman sleeves, this is meant to be worn over a black turtleneck with low-heeled black court shoes and bare legs. Both pieces lined in pumpkin crepe, the top's measurements are oversized and may make no sense so our best advice is that it is for a modern 8 and is 23" long. Skirt has a 25" waist, 37" hips and is 23" long. Both pieces are in excellent condition. $645.00 |
