Mary Quant

Marlena from Self-Constructed Freak recreates the mod style of Mary Quant for #DIYTheLook

Mary Quant has always been one of my #1 style inspirations. Best known for her mini-skirted pinafores and love for bold graphic patterns (think daisies and polka dots!) she was one of the very first innovators of mod fashion and created a look that was iconic yet easily accessible, even today! I've chosen 10 DIYs that encapsulate the Quant look perfectly - from chunky checkered earrings to making your own Mary Jane shoes, there's a tutorial here for everyone to put a little mod twist in their wardrobe.
