'First there was Chanel and then there was Quant.'
Eugenia Sheppard
New York Herald Tribune

Not many names epitomise an era, but Mary Quant is such a name. Her life, her ideas and her style touched (and continue to touch) everyone. Mary Quant is fashion. Most people connect Mary with one thing - the mini skirt - that ground-breaking design that is as potent now as it was when it first appeared in the early sixties. But her influence carried way beyond those early frenetic black-and-white years.

This is Mary Quant's incredible memoir in her own inimitable style - a witty, unique account of her whirlwind life. It is a story like no other. But then there is only one Mary Quant.

'The whole point of fashion is to make fashionable clothes available to everyone.'
