Mary Quant at The V&A

I decided to go to the Mary Quant exhibition while I was the V&A, mainly as I’m just interested in the sixties in general, the fashion, the photography happening at the time and I thought this exhibition may inspire me on those terms.

As to be expected there was nothing that could really be related to memento mori within Mary Qaunt’s designs and photographs. What I mainly took away from the exhibition was the sixties aesthetic, again black and white images were usually high contrast and I especially enjoyed the advertisements that were on display. The use of highly saturated and contrasted imagery with big bold typography is something that I like and potentially something I could carry through if I make a photobook for my FMP.
