I think to myself, 'You lucky woman - how did you have all this fun?'
From Mary Quant
Of course, I remember when everybody was thin. It wasn't until I went to America in the Sixties that I saw anyone who wasn't skinny thin.
I still like the King's Road. It is very alive; it is a hustle of things from different countries and so on. It is lovely.
I have been on a diet since 1962.
London style is individual.
The fashionable woman is sexy, witty, and dry-cleaned.
I liked my skirts short because I wanted to run and catch the bus to get to work.
Vidal Sassoon changed hair forever.
In America, they never make anything without first having a market survey to ask the public what they want. People only ask for things they already know about, so you don't get anything new that way. That's why American fashion is stuck.
As well as being a creative genius, Vidal Sassoon was a formative figure of the Sixties. Along with the Pill and the mini-skirt, his influence was truly liberating.
