R.I.P. Mary Quant

Great fashion icon of the 60s who died today at the age of 93. I still have 2 of her pairs of striped tights.

RIP
I’m afraid I don’t have anything left, but I remember with affection a pair of black plastic boots which had both calf and ankle zips.I wish I’d kept them.

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

[Chappers51]

No hot pants here and the skirts were short but not very - I had tree trunks for legs even then .

[MAD87]

No hot pants here either! I did have a couple of miniskirts.

I loved hot pants - hated skirts of any length (still do). Must have spent most of the summer in them. Even wore them to work a few times.

I loved my hot pants too and had 2 pairs with bibs just like dungarees. One pair was lilac suede and the other navy blue velvet. All my skirts were mini minis and I clearly remember making sure I chose pants to match because they would inevitably be on display at some point.

I had a couple of MQ shirt dresses, one black and one op art. I loved them. They were only about 4" above the knee but my father was scandalised. Of course minis became much shorter than that very quickly.

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......
