continuing now with this week's series pioneering women today we get to know mary quant whose invention caused a scandal in the early sixty's the fashion designer was responsible for introducing the mini skirt and how it was first pictured in the one nine hundred sixty two edition of british vogue and it sparked outrage from both conservatives and the church soon after though the mini skirt became a symbol of female emancipation and a must have in almost every modern woman's wardrobe i myself even have a few well the mini skirt made it mary quant a fashion icon it's still as popular as ever no matter the weather. london in autumn even at low temperatures there are plenty of mini skirts around.

mary quant invention is almost sixty years old but it still makes a specific fashion statement. for freedom. and then they get a little bit of flirting i'm sure like back then people would think is not cool because i'd be a very conservative. but i think marriage is cool for women to work and want to i think must've been really controversial but it's really cool that it's a vibe. the british fashion designer sparked a genuine revolution in the early one nine hundred sixty s. . original mini skirt hitched up hemlines to at least ten centimeters above the knee and became a symbol of a mensa pated women hundred sixty six she was awarded the order of the british empire for her work the mini skirt changed beauty ideals. the new mini was soon personified by a certain leslie hornby better known as twiggy with her bob taylor and slender

figure the model quickly became a style and cultural icon of the swinging sixty's the mini skirt was a polarizer as kwan soon learned in her own shop from the beginning. with the long lost of young men to bring in my girlfriends and raving about everything and there were not a lot of. window with. manage to do what you fashion designers had done before she changed the site with a piece of fabric. i think it was all really down to mary quant she was an art student she didn't want to dress her mother to it which you know up until then really had being kind of the way things were. during the one nine hundred fifty s. to peace i'm samples were in fashion quanta was creating for

a new generation and had her finger on the pulse of the sixty's in particular that of england's artists and musicians. are going to. today her designs have long since become classics her favorite dress the banana split was even honored on a british stamp in two thousand and nine. the perfect black dress and it comes really out in it's black and. put in a high high high cut right through it. and so it flows right up so it fools it just shows up in. london's victoria and albert museum has been collecting an archive in quantum design since the one nine hundred seventy s. because it was clear even then that her work was revolutionary some of the museums hundred or so pieces are in its permanent exhibition quantz forte is like sporting cuts like these it's wearable fashion for work or having fun.

american reaction against that very grown up tailoring that english fashion was known for and she brought in something completely new things were changing anyway there was a different feeling with people who were fed up with post-war austerity and the younger generation with. clubs and she design clothes that you can wear if you're young woman and go straight off to. the mini skirt wasn't quantz only fashion coo she also became the first designer to use vinyl and dresses and shoes. and. she. takes credit for inventing waterproof eyeliner and strapless broads plushy popularised colored and

patterned hose and it was quaint who created the short shorts known as hot pants like the mini skirt that since become a signpost in fashion history. the designer was quick to export her fashions to the u.s. and japan her shops carry dresses cosmetics and bags all under the mary quant name in two thousand she sold the label to a japanese company and withdrew from public life but her best known creation the mini skirt is still a fixture in the fashion world and. fashion designers like germany's giteau maria cuts mar include short skirts in many of their collections. because there are young people and everyone who's young and shouts already i'm here also wants to wear a mini skirt and. it started as a scandal and turned into a symbol of rebellion and emancipation today the mini skirt is a classic and a recurring favorite on the catwalk. mary wrote a chapter

a fashion history all her own with just a small piece of fabric. for linen house one new york as well and now the north german city of hamburg is getting one i'm talking about a museum of illusion since the beginning of time people been fascinated by magic and trickery and how new attraction truly takes visitors on a magical mystery tour. nothing is quite as it seems at hamburg's new museum of illusions. thousands of installations feature quirky optical illusions the deceive the senses. museum manager nikolina lots garbage discovered a cool concept in croatia and brought it to hamburg that's ever been you know it's bring out my inner child it's a combination of many factors and everything is based on science and us that. the optical illusions per plants visitors and spark their intellectual curiosity which

is the main idea behind the museum the vast four hundred square metre spaces brimming with games puzzles and optical illusions of all kinds some fifty exhibits are on display. one major highlight is this rotating vortex tunnel which makes you feel as if you're losing your balance what if i really like the vortex tunnel argh it makes me feel a bit dizzy but i still keep going through it and make hits totally love it up my nick and i know you've been living sticker. at other museums the rule usually is don't touch but here visitors are encouraged to try out all exhibits for themselves it's all about the disconnect between perceiving things that our brains can't fully process fascinating stuff for kids and adults alike.

the lot of them it's great for people who might not like visiting museums or that this interactive museum is something different it's about having a fine. and their view of the world might get turned on its head quite literally. now for something for all you do it yourselfers out there today our resident d.i.y. expert hunch and is going to teach us how to fold or gummy and i am going to try it as well so there you go. hi there is tension have you ever heard of origami it's the ancient japanese art of paper folding often into complex shapes such as animals clothes but also geometrical forms you can even be used to decorate a wall. you need

a full paper about thirty to forty pages in different colors. and double sided sticky tape. that's it we can already start first of all the paper up diagonally from the bottom right to meet the top edge smoothed to midpoint. of the remaining piece to the right and really smooth down the photo firmly then unfold it again. and then fold in the left hand side piece again and this time the bottom edge is filled with over that piece. and then unfold it. and then fold the paper over so the right hand it should be to the left one. and press down firmly on the crease. then unfold it again. now pulling all the corners so they meet in the middle.

and open it up again. then place a folded over the left hand side on to the right one and full the diagonal line in the parts of how. open it up and pressed a diagonal line up words to call the triangle. and then fold down the tip of the triangle and to the middle. you could already. see that the pyramid she is emerging . would carry on with the upper right hand corner of the step to the next crease. and this creates a flap to tuck in when the shape is finished. and they're shapira meant to make about forty of them. and then at the top excited sticky tape to the surfaces of the shape. now you stick them on the wall you can choose the cuts and yourself. stand out the board cycle. in this project the choice of color is

very important and i think different color combinations simply look full copilots online and get inspired. well i don't know how she did that but luckily christina my german colleague knows how to do it i really i mean more brag but if you want to see that video again along with other creative d.i.y. tutorials then go to our you tube page all right we're out of time for me and the rest of the crew here in berlin it is by for now and we'll see again tomorrow. but . next time on your own tax code artist garcia has created a stunning three hundred sixty degree panorama of the ancient greek city of paragon it depicts every day seems for one twenty nine c.e. and impressive architecture from the time including the famous paragon altar the
