Candis nice panties combine women’s comfortable cotton underwear, pretty lace lingerie and fun bright colours. I aim to revolutionise the ladies’ underwear scene by throwing away the stuffy comfortable knickers of the past and replacing them with pretty, everyday underwear. Just like Mary Quant sought clothes that looked great but that she could also run to the bus in, I sought underwear that looked great but that I could also run to the bus in (ok, today it’s probably more like run through the airport in rather than run for the bus!). Like Mary Quant’s iconic clothes, Candis Creations creates women’s underwear that is fun and practical. But stockings and suspender belts could be seen under mini skirts so she invented tights. Do you wear waterproof mascara? You can thank Mary Quant for inventing it! Do you wear tights under your skirts? You can thank Mary Quant for inventing those too! Prior to Mary Quant inventing tights, women wore stockings with suspender belts.

Mary’s innovative concepts are still worn by us today. I liked my skirts short because I wanted to run and catch the bus to get to work – Mary Quant She expanded her line of clothes into underwear, makeup, swimwear and rainwear. She managed to combine practical with fun and playful, making her one of the most famous fashion designers of the 20th Century. The fashions she grew up with were pretty but somewhat muted in colour and mature. Mary also brought a young, fresh look to the fashion scene. After finding that the wholesale clothes available didn’t meet her needs, she decided to design her own and the miniskirt was born! She revolutionised the fashion world by offering women clothes they could move in. In 1955 she opened her first shop, Bazaar. Mary Quant is just one of the world-changing female famous fashion designers who made fun fashion and who we should celebrate during Women’s History Month.

Ground-breaking women have contributed to numerous industries throughout history, including fashion.

A month to celebrate women’s contributions to society past and present. Now 92, Mary Quant collected her OBE in a miniskirt in 1966, was honoured by the British Fashion Council in 1990, made a dame in 2015, and achieved so much, it took two autobiographies to capture.
