Mary Quant is one of Britain’s most well-known and influential designers. Along with her husband, Alexander Plunket Greene and business partner Archie McNair, she opened her first boutique, Bazaar, on the King’s Road in 1955. She originally stocked clothes from wholesalers but soon became frustrated with the options available and began designing her own clothes which were manufactured and sold successfully. \n\nThis dress was purchased by Nadine Hauser in 1959 for the 50th wedding anniversary party of her parents-in-law. This is a rare example of Quant’s early work. The pale pink silk, classic silhouette and conservative hem line starkly contrast her later designs.
