Quant by Quant (HB) - Mary Quant
‘The Beatles provided the sound and Mary provided the look’ (Harper's Bazaar)
QUANT, Mary. Quant by Quant. London: Cassell, 1966.
First impression (sold out within a month) of the first edition of Mary Quant’s vivacious memoir set in England and United States. The key Sixties Revolution fashion designer and influencer, whose landmark Bazaar (the first boutique in the King’s Road) became a place of pilgrimage, is a Londoner with talent, vision, and global impact.
198 pp, [4-] Index. 22 dynamic pages of Quant’s sketches and b/w photos by David Bailey, Terence Donovan, Brian Duffy, John French, Norman Parkinson, and other celebrated fashion photographers.
8vo, original cloth. A hint of foxing to endpapers. Very good in very good dust-jacket (minor edge-wear; one closed tear; not price-clipped). The photographic images of Mary Quant to front and back panels of the jacket are by David Bailey.
