Revolutionary, will close on October 22, and organisers Glasgow Life are expecting thousands more to flock to Kelvingrove before then.Featuring more than 100 garments, accessories, cosmetics and photographs drawn from the V&A’s extensive collections, the display also includes items from the designer’s own archive and many private collections.
“Visitors have shared their joy on reliving wonderful, sometimes forgotten, memories, often with younger members of their family who weren’t around at the time. Heather Tilbury Phillips, former Director of Mary Quant Limited and advisor to the V&A on the exhibition, said: “What is impressive is that so many of today’s teenagers and young people have been overheard saying how much they would love to wear the clothes now.
“This special opportunity, in the final weeks for the show, to spark the creativity and imagination of the fashion students from Glasgow Clyde College shows how her impact will carry on, inspiring designers of the future.”
