Mary Quant – Autobiography – SIGNED First Edition 2012
£165.00
A first edition, first printing of Autobiography by Mary Quant, published by Headline Publishing, London in 2012. A very fine copy signed by the author in black ink to the title page. In a fine unclipped wrapper with light bumping to lower knuckles of front and rear flap folds.
Autobiography by Mary Quant charts the designer’s rise from post-war London to global fashion fame. More than a personal memoir, it captures how Quant helped democratise style, making youth, freedom, movement and fun central to modern dress. Through her boutique Bazaar, the Chelsea scene and her bold, practical designs, she became a defining force of the Swinging Sixties, popularising the mini-skirt look and reshaping how women dressed, shopped and expressed independence.
