It is a rare privilege to be born at the right time, in the right place, with the right talents. In recent fashion, there have been three such individuals: Chanel, Dior, and Mary Quant. - Ernestine Carter. This book takes you back to the vibrant city of London during the swinging sixties, providing essential context for two of the most influential and iconic names in pop fashion: Mary Quant, often credited as the mother of the miniskirt, and Terence Conran, the visionary behind the new wave of lifestyle stores. Friends, associates, and allies in design, Quant and Conran stood at the forefront of an informal but influential bohemian group who shaped the fashion landscape of the era. The Chelsea Set defied classification; there was no comprehensive membership list. Conran/Quant: Swinging London - A Lifestyle Revolution delves into the contributions of designers and artists ranging from Laura and Bernard Ashley to Eduardo Paolozzi, Nigen Henderson, and Alexander Plunket Greene, all of whom played crucial roles in generating the distinctive style of the sixties.
