Mary Quant's Bazaar: Inside the King's Road Boutique

Mary Quant taught herself to cut patterns at night so she could stock a King's Road boutique that opened with almost no money in 1955, and built an empire that put her name and her daisy logo on everything from mini-dresses to a pair of boots that left flower-shaped footprints in the rain. This episode covers Bazaar, the Chelsea Set, the genuinely contested history of who invented the miniskirt, her partnership with Vidal Sassoon, and the Welsh factory town that actually made the clothes behind the mass-market Ginger Group years. ------------- Find our Podcast on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music or where ever you listen to your podcasts.
