Fashion — 1968-1970
Stockings, tights
Red 'Tiffany Lace' fishnet tights in original packaging produced under the Mary Quant label.
In an article published on 31 January 1967 in The Times (p. 13), Suzy Menkes wrote about Mary Quant that 'probably her greatest contribution to women's fashion has been her pioneering spirit - using her name to persuade manufactureres to produce something necessary to the current fashion image. Light-weight, flesh-coloured underclothes by Youthline and tights and silver stockings by Nylon Hosiery Company hve been two of her contributions to the perfection of the "London Look".'
