Fashion Icon Mary Quant MiniSkirt

Mini Skirt of Mary Quant (Born 11February 1934) is a Welsh fashion designer and British fashion Icon,who was one of the designers who took credit for inventing the miniskirt and hot pants in 1960s. She brought fun and fantasy to fashion and showed  a generations how to dress to please themselves . 

Miniskirts had been getting shorter since about 1958. Mary Quant considered to be practical  and liberating ,allowing women the ability to run for a bus. The mini skirt which she is arguably most famous for,became one of the defining fashions of the 1960s. The Miniskirt was developed separately by Andre Courreges the french designer, and there's disagreement as  to who  came up with the idea first like most fashions.

 Quant was not afraid of novelty and experimentation . Some of her most popular designs were sweater dresses with plastic collars , balloon -style dresses, and knickerbockers and stretch stockings in all colours and pattems. Other typical designs included knee-length white plastic lace -up boots and tight sweaters in bold stripes. 

These clothes become part of the London look.

PSIONICS Hair Show

See the exclusive footage of  my Cafe de Paris show, PSIONICS, featuring the work of Andrew Corbett and myself. It was a night full of excitement, creativity and glamour all brought together through Avant Garde hair pieces and fashion. 

PSIONICS Show

 On Saturday 5th November, I held my latest hair show at the famous London nightclub, Cafe de Paris and it proved to be a truly spectacular evening. The show was based around the theme of PSIONICS, meaning creating an other worldly phenomena with ones own mind and was split into three halves showcasing an array of looks ranging from editorial and Avant Garde. 

Dramatic styles and colours took pride of place, with hats made from twisted strands of hair, horns made from plaited hair and a brightly coloured feathered head dress making their way down the runway. The show featured twenty models who all modelled unique hair designs in addition to the Avant Garde garments designed by Gemma Goldstone, VictoriaClare, Kate Williams and Ara Jo (who has designed for Lady Gaga). 

The show rivalled any firework display happening in the capital that night and allowed the press and the public the opportunity to preview the next big looks in Avant Garde hairdressing.
