‘Fashion is a Tool’ — Mary Quant Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Muscle Tank

“Fashion is a tool… to compete in life outside the home. People like you better, without knowing why, because people always react well to a person they like the looks of.” Mary Quant made this blunt case in the mid-1960s, the King’s Road years when her miniskirts helped kit out a generation of women walking into offices and universities in numbers without precedent. She was refreshingly frank: clothes are a tool for competing in public life, and looking the part opens doors before you say a word. Dress, in her telling, is less decoration than equipment for going out and getting what you’re after.
