    Andrew Loog Oldham worked for Mary as a young kid, as well as Ronnie Scotts and Joe Meek, as he was grooming his way to managing The Stones - Mary certainly created a buzz back in the 50's and 60's - I bet she could tell a good story or two - RIP

    As a young man at the time, I have to thank Mary Quant for promoting the mini skirt...
    She was a genuine marketing & design genius & did wonders in advancing women in businesses. RIP.

    She was the 60s, as it appeared to be. RIP Mary Q, good innings.
    Ten years too late and still getting it wrong

    She was, indeed, the 60s. She had a massive influence still felt today.  Although I never really liked that hairstyle, or that hat, she was so, simply, new.
    Save a cow.  Eat a vegetarian.
