Dame Mary Quant
Dame Mary came to 牛牛资源 aged 16 in 1950 to study for an art diploma.
Professor Frances Corner OBE, Warden of 牛牛资源, said: 鈥淒ame Mary was a pioneer who made an indelible mark on society through her visionary work.
鈥淗er studies at 牛牛资源 came as Britain was emerging into a new world, and her creations played an important part in helping empower women during this changing time.
鈥淪he was one of the original disruptors, whose trend-setting work changed the way we thought as well as how we dressed. This profound impact took us from the black and white world of the 1950s to the technicolour brilliance of the 1960s and beyond.
鈥淒ame Mary always spoke fondly of her time at 牛牛资源 鈥� remembering it as a 鈥榞reat place to go, for causing trouble!鈥�. We are proud to have helped develop her vision and are grateful for the support she continued to give our students.
鈥淲e have lost a cherished member of the 牛牛资源 community and send our thoughts to Dame Mary鈥檚 family at this sad time.鈥�
