Originally published in 1966, Quant by Quant is the hugely entertaining story of Mary Quant's early career and life with husband and business partner Alexander Plunket Greene. After opening the groundbreaking Bazaar boutique on the King's Road in 1955, Quant soared to international fame with her brand of witty fashion style which fitted perfectly with modern life about town. Just as her signature styles have become synonymous with the Pop culture of the Swinging Sixties, her joyful, evocative autobiography captures the world in which she found inspiration - and which she ultimately helped to define and change.

A very interesting read, and most enlightening if you want to know about life in the 1960's! Written in the present tense can be a little disconcerting until you get into it.

I owned the original book printed in the 60's and loved it ! This rendition has the wonderful story of Mary Quant,but is missing many of the pictures offered in the original book,and the quality of the paper used is of poor quality,and the cover is very flimsy,making this books shelf life limited.I still enjoyed reading this autobiography again.
