  • Story Text: THE CORRECT AND DIGNIFIED QUIETUDE OF THE CARLTON TOWERS HOTEL ON LONDON WAS BRIEFLY RUFFLED TODAY BY THAT DARLING OF THE FASHION WORLD, MISS MARY QUANT. SHE'D COME ALONG TO SHOW HER AUTUMN COLLECTION, AND TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT SHE WAS GOING INTO THE BOOT BUSINESS.

    THE CLOTHING WAS CLOSELY TAILORED, AND A GREAT MANY ZIP-FASTENERS WERE IN EVIDENCE. BUT IT WAS ALL REALLY ABOUT THE BOOTS: "FROM NOW ON THERE'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE NEW BOOT BIT", PROMISED THE YOUNG DESIGNER.

    AND THERE WAS. BOOTS WRAPPED ROUND THE ANKLE, CHOPPED SHORT ABOVE THE ANKLE BONE, BOOTS JUST GRAZING THE KNEE. THEY'RE ALL MADE OF CRYSTAL CLEAR PLASTIC CLEVERLY GLUED OVER COLOURFUL FABRICS, WHICH MEANS THE GIRLS HAVE SOFT AND ELEGANT FOOTWEAR THAT WILL RESIST ANY KIND OF WEATHER.
