Quant, Mary. Quant by Quant. First American Edition. 1966. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—jacket shows fraying and light creasing.
Fashion journalist Ernestine Carter ranked Mary Quant with Coco Chanel and Christian Dior as designers fortunate “to be born at the right time, in the right place, with the right talents.” This was Quant’s first autobiography. She published a second volume in 2011. In this one, she discusses the various coincidences and sound decisions that turned a small shop on London’s Kings Road into a worldwide fashion empire. The English edition came first, but this American edition has the more amusing dust jacket.
“Fashion is a frightening business to be in; all the time you have to force yourself to think ahead; you have to try to think further ahead than anyone else.”
--Mary Quant
