Japan's first retrospective exhibition of the miniskirt queen
Witness the story of the flag-bearer for London's fashion in the 60s
Mary Quant burst onto the 1950s fashion scene in London as she popularized the miniskirt. She stood at the forefront of 60s street culture as the most iconic fashion designer.
While she is widely known today for her cosmetics line in Japan bearing her distinct daisy logo, Mary Quant originally worked as an entrepreneur and pioneer in the vanguard of 60's London (Swinging London) fashion scene. Her modern, youthful designs transformed women's clothing at the time.
This exhibition focuses on some 100 garments organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum in UK, alongside accessories, photos, videos, and other materials. Following the journey of Mary Quant's career as a designer from 1955 to 1975, visitors may recognise how she worked as an entrepreneur and trailblazer in her own time.
