A talk held in Dunmow about fashion designer Mary Quant, who popularised clothing which came to define the swinging sixties, will be hosted by an advisor from the V&A museum.
Heather Tilbury Phillips, also former marketing director at Mary Quant Ltd will share her recollections of the designer, now 89, and present a taster of the V&A's exhibition showcasing Quant's work.
The event, called 'Behind the Scenes at the Exhibition' will take place on September 20 at 7.30pm in Our Lady and St Anne Line church hall, Mill Lane, and has been organised by the Dunmow branch of the Catholic Women's League.
The V&A describes Quant as "the most iconic fashion designer of the 1960s", known for looks such as the super-high hemline.
