Actor Sadie Frost turns director with Quant, an engaging documentary about the British fashion designer Mary Quant, showing at the London Film Festival. Known for her bold, vibrant designs and pioneering spirit, Quant became associated with the liberating fashions of the 1960s, ditching the style of the fitted ’50s and raising eyebrows along with hemlines.
Frost’s lively doc traces her journey with archive footage, talking heads and dramatized scenes featuring actor Camilla Rutherford as Quant. The latter touch is perhaps the biggest challenge, but is handled elegantly: rather than shooting Rutherford as if she is in a straight TV interview, Frost and Dp John Bretherton approach these brief segments almost like a fashion shoot, zooming in on her eyes or gestures, the dialogue not always in sync.
Given that Quant is now 91, it is unsurprising that she doesn’t take part directly, but versions of her words are used...

It's day two of the London shows; the rain has stopped, the sun has come out…and the gale force winds have arrived. Sigh. The weather gods may not be on our side, but that hasn't dampened our spirits. No, not at all! Today London cranked the fashion dial up a notch, and there were big brands, big celebs, and in one case, a big shoe-meets-dress fiasco. The day started off in the safe and steady hands of Jasper Conran (one of Lfw's founding designers). As we've come to expect, it was a tight and wearable collection. After lunch it was the turn of another Lfw stalwart, John Rocha. True to form his mainly monochrome collection featured voluminous skirts, clunky shoes and theatrical tulle...
