Label Text:Mary Quant’s designs, exemplified by this fun, simple mini-dress, are inseparable from 1960s London mod style. One of London’s most successful independent designers at the time, Quant sold her fashions in her Bazaar boutiques, and in 1963 began mass-manufacturing and exporting to the United States.
