Thanks to Vendetta Films, we have 5 double passes to give away to QUANT – a film by director Sadie Frost, opening nationally in cinemas on May 18!
Mary Quant is one of Britain’s most renowned cultural figures. Recently, at 93 years old, the fashion icon passed away – leaving in her wake, an array of her most incredible fashion contributions. Inventions such as the miniskirt and hotpants have left an indelible mark on the history of fashion.
In fact, anyone who’s ever worn a mini skirt and knee-high boots on a night out owes it to this woman.
Mary Quant was at the vanguard of the stylistic revolution of the 60s and 70s. She lead the charge away from convention and conservatism through the championing of ground-breaking designs. Her innovative approach to mass-production fashion changed the entire fashion landscape, as did her ingeniously creative partnership with hair stylist, Vidal Sassoon.
Cinematic and stylistic. This is the fascinating story of the iconic design and retail pioneer. From her very first store on London’s legendary King’s Road to the development of a global empire.
Using archive footage, “Quant” features original interviews with Quant’s contemporaries. It also features family and modern-day fashion and style leaders; including Vivienne Westwood, Kate Moss, Camilla Rutherford – Gosford Park, Yesterday, Phantom Thread.
“Quant” is a feature of striking originality that is incredibly of the moment. And it reveals Mary Quant’s quest to take on the world of fashion; pushing boundaries and paving the way for generations of women for decades after.
