Actor Sadie Frost turns director with Quant, an engaging documentary about the British fashion designer Mary Quant, showing at the London Film Festival. Known for her bold, vibrant designs and pioneering spirit, Quant became associated with the liberating fashions of the 1960s, ditching the style of the fitted ’50s and raising eyebrows along with hemlines.
Frost’s lively doc traces her journey with archive footage, talking heads and dramatized scenes featuring actor Camilla Rutherford as Quant. The latter touch is perhaps the biggest challenge, but is handled elegantly: rather than shooting Rutherford as if she is in a straight TV interview, Frost and Dp John Bretherton approach these brief segments almost like a fashion shoot, zooming in on her eyes or gestures, the dialogue not always in sync.
Given that Quant is now 91, it is unsurprising that she doesn’t take part directly, but versions of her words are used...

Alongside the Beatles, fashion designer Mary Quant was one of the pioneers of the 1960s “British invasion,” which saw the world go nuts for U.K. cultural exports including the mini-skirt, which Quant is credited with inventing.
And yet, “There’s still a lot of people that don’t know who she is,” said Sadie Frost, the director of a new documentary, “Quant,” about the fashion icon. “So for me, it was just such a important story to tell.” The film, which was produced by Goldfinch Entertainment and distributed by Studio Soho Distribution, premieres at the BFI London Film Festival on Saturday.
Despite three decades in the film industry, both as an actor and a producer, with her production company Blonde to Black Pictures, “Quant” is Frost’s first foray into directing. “I have a fashion background and I have a film background and I’m a woman and I...
