Mary Quant Decade
Mary opened her famous London boutique Bazaar in 1955 and was swinging-60s London personified. The minishirts, hot-pants, shiny plastic raincoats, and paint-box makeup all added up to the Mary Quant decade. Mary was the first person to operationalized the concept "less is more."- "A woman is only as young as ker knees"
In her book, "Quant by Quant" she wrote "Woman wear clothes to make them feel good and to feel sexy. Women turn themselves on. Men like to look at women to be turned on - to feel sexy is to know you're alive."
The edge gives us a special attitude. Cutting edge, leading edge, bleeding edge, the edge of inspiration, on the edge of our seats. The edge is exciting and risky and extreme. Great ideas can come from anywhere, but most of them turn up on the edge.
