Quantum style

For the first half of the 1970s, Quant remained at the forefront of fashion - her work was celebrated in a retrospective exhibition, Mary Quant's London, at the London Museum in Kensington Palace from November 1973 to June 1974. From the late '70s onward, the business produced high-quality womenswear and a variety of products alongside coordinated interior designs for British manufacturing giant ICI, including bed linen, carpets, paint and wallpaper; diffusion ranges such as swimwear, hosiery, jewelry; the Daisy Fashion Doll; and popular skincare and makeup products. Quant also introduced skincare for men and published books promoting her ideas about cosmetics.

In 1990, Quant was awarded the prestigious Hall of Fame Award by the British Fashion Council, recognizing her many contributions to British fashion. She published her second autobiography in 2012 and became a Dame on the 2015 New Year's Honors list.
