Mthethwa, South Africa

Mthethwa is a small, historical village and is located south of the Mfolozi River in the northeastern part of the present-day province of KwaZulu-Natal, located in South Africa (“Mthethwa”). This village had many leaders, the most notable being that of Dingiswayo; under his rule, Mthethwa became prominent during the first twenty years of the 19th century (“Mthethwa”). This occurred by accruing even smaller villages into their power of rule, and this led to more opportunities for the people of this land (“Mthethwa”).

Mary Quant's First Bazaar Shop

Bazaar was Mary Quant’s first store, opened with the help of her husband and a friend. She began to design clothing for the store in the years following its opening due to frustration at what clothing was available at the time. The store became an important part of the King’s Road shopping area because it offered clothing inspired by the youth culture of the time. The store would play loud music, have free drinks and eccentric window displays, and would stay open late to create a venue that would entice shoppers and represent the inspiration of the youth.
