their way to bomb London.

Tony, and their friends to investigate and

designer , there was a growing interest in the
use of natural ingredients in cosmetic products.

Recipe range reflected this fresh interest of
organic ingredients . The natural ingredients
used in the Quant cosmetics were honey, almond
oil, parsley seed oil and herb extracts.
The Miniskirt
- The 60’s were a time of shocks and the mini was
the greatest of them all. Women were permitted to
do more things , have their say and more
importantly permitted free love. As a result skirt
lengths shortened and more skin was shown. With
hemlines rising a fresh emphasis was seen on the

textures, and bright colours and soon complicated

worn by the youthfull, but it caught everyone from
youthful women to grandmothers.
I like this garment because it is black shiny and

discovered everything and anything that would
make the life of a woman lighter and more
beautiful. For example she created the miniskirt

have joy. Quant used top models like Twiggy to
personify the youthfull, sweetness and innocence of
her clothing. She also used top model Jean
Shrimpton, who carried off her creations to
