Quant: what you need to know about the Dame Mary Quant documentary – GLAMOUR UK

What do Kate Moss, Charlotte Tilbury (have you tried her new glow-boosting face mask, by the way?), Jasper Conran and Vivienne Westwood have in common? They all star in a brand new documentary charting the incredible life story of the iconic fashion designer, Dame Mary Quant - duh.

Quant pieces original interviews with some of the designers closest friends and family members, together with real footage from the icons life and dramatised scenes to really help viewers immerse themselves in the glitzy - yet gritty - world of one of the globes most well-known fashion faces.

One of the most influential artists of the 20th Century worldwide, Mary Quant (now 92) is a pioneer of the style revolution during the 60s and 70s, leading the charge away from conservative convention and instead championing ground-breaking designs including the miniskirt (shock, horror) and hot pants (can you believe it?).

In fact, there are likely cherished items of clothing you wear today that are all thanks to the fresh designs and irreverent style that Mary Quant was so celebrated for. Intrigued? Well, luckily, we finally have a trailer for the feature-length documentary (which, incidentally, is Sadie Frost's first directors role), and it looks every bit as achingly cool as we could have hoped.

Here's everything we know so far about the Quant documentary:

Through interviews and original footage, Quant will explore the creative, personal and professional life of the much-respected culture and style icon. As we alluded to above, you can expect to see interviews with other fashion and beauty titans, including Kate Moss, Charlotte Tilbury, Jasper Conran and Vivienne Westwood, amongst others - all of whom help us piece together a sense of the incredible life Quant herself led.

The official Instagram account for the documentary describes the designer as a, [r]ule breaker, trend setter, hemline slasher... [she] provided a uniform for the girls who didn't want to dress like their mothers.

So if you are a fashion fanatic or just like marvelling at gorgeous clothes - get ready to discover how one incredible woman revolutionised British street style, in an documentary that epitomises female empowerment and ingenuity.

In a recent press release, Studio Soho and Goldfinch Productions (who are both behind the documentary) announced that Quant will be officially released in UK cinemas on 29 October 2021.

If you can't wait that long though, the Curzon Mayfair and Curzon Soho cinemas are showing screenings on 9 and 10 October respectively - though tickets are selling out fast.

Okay, okay, this section isn't strictly about the documentary, but we couldn't let a piece on Mary Quant go by without including some of her iconic quotes. Here are our top five favourites - we'll be weaving these into our vocabulary, that's for sure

And, for good measure (and because we've got nothing to do now we've binge-watched Squid Game), you can find 26 of the most memorable quotes that prove fashion is so much more than frivolity here.

Right, now, where are those hot pants
