Mary Quant’s Ginger group label
Mary Quant’s mini-dresses for her ‘Ginger Group’ label epitomise the 1960s fashion revolution. This jersey shift dress is like a sweater grown to dress length, and a version was modelled by Twiggy in a Vogue ‘Young Idea’ fashion spread in April 1966. With the hem well above the knee it was ideally suited to her boyish figure.
