Join Stephanie Wood, Kaihāpai Taonga/Curator of Fashion and Textiles, for a fascinating look at Quant’s trailblazing career – from her pioneering 1950s London boutique to creating one of the first global lifestyle brands.

Stephanie is a curator and fashion historian with over 15 years experience working with historic textiles and dress, presenting major exhibitions, gallery projects, fashion shows, conferences and speaking engagements at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.  She worked on the exhibitions Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto, Mary Quant, and Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion, and delivered public programmes such as Fashion in Motion, a series of catwalk events.

In this engaging one-hour presentation, Stephanie will explore how Mary Quant, a fearless designer, became the face of the miniskirt, Swinging Sixties style, and a global fashion revolution that reached New Zealand.

This talk is part of the Whanganui Vintage Weekend schedule of events.
