Until Christmas 2025, the Museum of Style Icons at Newbridge Silverware will host a historic fashion exhibition celebrating the revolutionary work of Mary Quant, the iconic British designer who transformed 1960s fashion with the invention of the mini skirt and hot pants.
This exclusive event marks the first time in Ireland that original Mary Quant pieces will be publicly displayed—making it a must-see fashion exhibition for style enthusiasts, historians, and culture lovers alike.
