Harris Curator Scott’s favourite collection item is this dress with a matching cape from Mary Quant.

Scott said ‘I love it because Mary Quant really captured the spirit of the ‘youthquake’ of the 1960s with her designs. Even today, 60 years after it was made, it still looks and feels fresh and exciting.

I also love it because it was worn by a curator who worked in the Harris in the 1970s – Gillian Tressider. After she left the Harris, she donated this and other items from her wardrobe to the Museum. I would love to one day donate some of my clothes to the Harris and have them talked about and put on show 60 years later!’
