Glasgow (AFP) – Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is celebrating British fashion trailblazer Mary Quant, long credited as a pioneer of the miniskirt, as her colourful and daring 1960s designs take centre stage in an exhibition. “She introduced such a revolutionary attitude to clothes – garments that the young could run, jump, leap onto a bus, go dancing – they didn’t have to dress like their mothers anymore, which, of course, they had to do in the days of post-war austerity,” former co-director of Mary Quant Limited tells AFP.
