She was named a fashion editor of the year in 1971, nonetheless to say her vision and fast forward-thinking in regards of clothing and what women could wear was radical at the time and wasn’t left unnoticed. Pushing the boundaries between gender and silhouettes ever since.
Her choices in regards to her personal style are just as bold to this day. Molly Parkin was one of Andy Warhol’s contemporaries in New York City and formed a part of the ’swinging 60s‘ London movement.

She remains in Chelsea to this day in her vibrant art studio where once you walk in you feel like you have entered another world, where there are no limits to colour combinations, shapes or forms. She has created her own little universe where the walls have been painted in magenta (her favourite colour that she also uses frequently in her works)and have been covered in her paintings and variety of objects.
Her sense of humour and recognisable wittiness hasn’t changed, she is at the age of 88 today and says she never felt better. For Molly the older she got the more grounded and freer she felt.
