R.I.P. Mary Quant

Excuse me ladies....should I be able to view this ?

Why ever not? Let's hear about your sartorial extravagances

Well my only experience of 'hot' pants was wearing my Y-fronts back to front and inside out if I didn't make it home the nights before........

I certainly remember her op art dresses - I even made myself one ! And even had the haircut when I was at school (my mother was furious )
Ok, own up anyone who wore hot pants ??? I did wear very short skirts but never hot pants

I'll 'fess up (pun intended ). The most beautiful pair of black, crushed velvet ones, worn with a white satin 'pirate' shirt and occasionally, silver platform boots. Those were the days......

I had some suede Biba boots, low cut loons from Kensington Market, some black patent platforms.
Remember those military double breasted coats in Carnaby Street ? Oooh and Cranks !
It was fun !

What pees me off is that the fashionistas have been promising a flares revival for, oh, about 30 years now, but it's never happened And Afghan coats! Remember them? My beloved Afghan got relegated to a compost heap after getting soaked at Reading festival and developing a decidedly 'goaty' aroma

I had a goat coat from Biba. I had to be a bit careful as in certain weather it smelled a bit of goat. I grew up in London (South Kensington) in the 60s and didn't really appreciate how exciting it all was - it was normal

If only OH had bought the Mary Quant mini I kept on & on about - car that is - he's not a cross dresser

I had an Afghan coat that a friend brought back from a trip he made. He also gave me a goatskin bonnet, which stank from the moment I had it. Strange how people definitely moved away from me when I wore those...........

My wife had some sort of Biba era fur coat donated by her mum.
It was hanging in the cellar when the bath above leaked & got a bit damp so it was dried out & relegated to a clothes box in the attic.
Weeks later we kept wondering where all these little moths were coming from & finally realised they were breeding in the coat.
A bonfire sorted that out
