Organic Fashion: Hip Comfortable Classics
Written by Staff Writer   

British designer Mary Quant, a darling of the '60s fashion scene, notes that "fashion, as we knew it, is over. People wear now exactly what they feel like wearing."

Quant, who revolutionized the way we dressed 40 years ago by introducing miniskirts and hot pants, knows what it has taken less iconoclastic designers four decades to figure out: When it comes to style, individuality and self-expression rule the day - particularly if you've embraced the tenets of organic living.
