Mary Quant Exhibition at Dovecot Gallery

-60s turning point for fashion, in time with feminist movement, much more expression through clothes

-following sexists ads of 60s (whilst still enduring much sexism) women were more free to express themselves through these means

interest in the way exhibition displayed, with prints/art alongside furniture and textiles/garments.

displayed in sets of domestic interiors in the time period women were breaking away from domesticated housewife role, plays on ideas of gender as a performance, which I think drag makes fun of the invisible boundaries of gender expression.
