     Mary Quant was born in 1934. When she was young, there was no teenage fashion. Young women
were dressed like grown ups or little girls. At thirteen, she designed her own school uniform. She wore
short dresses and long socks. After school, Mary went to Goldsmith's College in London.  She didn't enter the college gate but she met her future husband, Alexander Green. Like Mary he wore unusual clothes,
such as purple velvet trousers and pajamas jackets.     In 1955 Mary left college and worked for a hat
maker in London's West End.  But soon they opened their own shop.  It was called Bazaar and it was
the first small shop for women in the King's Road in Chelsea.  Mary designed all the clothes and made
them on her old sewing machine.      The 1960s are often called the "Swinging Sixties".  During these
years Mary's designs became very popular.' Everyone loved her mini-skirts and colored tights. Thanks
to Mary, London became the fashion capital of the world.     Mary's fashion showed different a lot from
what they had been before.  Mary's models didn't walk they danced to pop music.      Soon Mary's fashion clothes became popular in America, too.      At the age of 37, Mary had a son, Orlando.  She says,  
"Becoming a mother was quite the most important thing that ever happened to me. "     In 1966, Mary was awarded the O. B. E.   (a special medal given by the Queen). She went to Buckingham Palace in a mini
skirt to collect the medal.

                Yellow Dress
                              By Janet Lee
          Mary had a yellow dress 
       Bought from the department store.
        It looked as beautiful as the moon,
             And as bright as the sun.
              Mary wore all the time
                 The yellow dress
                  I felt so right.
            Every day from day to night
            I saw her in the dress so bright.
             "Buy me a yellow dress,"
              I cried to Mom and Dad,
               "As beautiful and bright
            As the dress the girl living near has!"
               I cried and cried and cried,
               Until they said with sad eyes, 
            "We need food for your baby sister,
           And clothes for your coming brother."
                  Since then I've learned 
          Mary's yellow dress Is better to dream of
                    Than to ask for.
