Guest Speaker – History Wardrobe: Mary Quant – Fashion Icon

Lucy Ridley browses the rails of History Wardrobe’s Quant collection, exploring key trends of the era and showcasing fabulous fashions, including frocks, tights, boots, make-up and the intriguingly titled Booby Trap… 

After the event there’s a chance to take a closer look at garments from the M&S Archive, including stylish designs for the ‘inbetweeners’, and pieces from our ‘Junior Miss’ collection. 

Booking is essential, refreshments included, tickets cost £5 with proceeds to Leeds Baby Bank.
