Chris TaylorHOST
And all the, all the older gentlemen are wearing, like, what would look in, like, by the '80s like a very boring dad jacket kind of thing, but looked like cool and hip and, and, you know, spy stuff at the time.
Chris TaylorHOST
But yeah, so it looks great.
Louisa YoungGUEST
You never want your, you know, book set in the 60s to be a timeline.
Louisa YoungGUEST
Like, oh, it's 1963, quick check, Mary Quant opened her first boutique, better have someone go to that boutique.
Louisa YoungGUEST
Practically nobody went to that boutique except all the people who did, but that was maybe like 400 very influential people or very young, groovy people.
Louisa YoungGUEST
For a lot of people, those things only happened later.

Andrew McLarenHOST
And right now on Remember When, we're speaking, of course, with Rick Milne, and 133693 is the number, 133693, if you want something valued.
Andrew McLarenHOST
Rick, are old costumes valuable, or old fashion? I was speaking before earlier with Simon about my disinterest in fashion, but I know a lot of people do have it, and someone I know of, I don't know them, has a Mary Quant dress from the 1960s, and this was high fashion in Carnaby Street and the Beatles and all that stuff.
Andrew McLarenHOST
Is that sort of thing worth real money? Yes,

And then along came Biba and Mary Quant, which is rather nice for us, because we were talking about Biba on this podcast just the other day.
David TuckerHOST
Same London, same revolution.
David TuckerHOST
Young people saying essentially, we don't want to look like our parents.
Kylie BrakemanADVERTISER
How did they get that? I have no idea.
Kristin DavisHOST
'Cause this is a Mary Quant, like this jacket is vintage.
Kylie BrakemanADVERTISER
I, I, I don't know how they did that.
Kristin DavisHOST
I still have it in my closet.
Llewellyn KingHOST
One of the great disruptors from my point of view was a young woman I knew in London in the 1960s.
Llewellyn KingHOST
Her name was Mary Quant and she lifted up skirts and invented short shorts as a dress option, hot pants they were called.
Llewellyn KingHOST
There are women very much at work in the disruption.
Llewellyn KingHOST
Recently, this program was in Malagos, Spain, where we were talking to women, almost entirely women, 1,200 at a conference, And what they were doing was disrupting creativity and advertising and the design of automobiles in almost everything, certainly clothing, shoes, the whole lot, and fine art.
