Laid to rest today following a short service….
Great lady, RIP Mary Quant. My dad was engineering manager in Gala of London, they produced all Mary Quant’s cosmetics in Broombridge, Cabra. When she launched her orange line in Dublin, I got to present her with one of my paintings in orange monochrome of a west of Ireland sunset. I wonder what ever happened to it?
RIP.
