Dame Mary Quant paved the way for female empowerment through her innovative, affordable, and accessible designs.

Quant takes an inside look at one of Britain’s most renowned cultural figures. Dame Mary Quant paved the way for female empowerment through her innovative, affordable, and accessible designs that perfectly embodied women’s new- found freedom during the ‘swinging sixties’, shaping a new generation. Within a decade, her revolutionary designs such as the mini skirt made her a global sensation and household name.

Featuring contributions from Kate Moss, Vivienne Westwood, Edward Enninful, Dave Davies, Charlotte Tilbury, Jasper Conran and Zandra Rhodes, Quant tells the incredible story of how Mary built an empire. From fashion to homeware to cosmetics, her rebellious approach to design left a legacy of female liberation which is still relevant to this day.
