LONDON — Mary Quant, the designer whose models epitomized the Swinging 60s, has died at the age of 93.
Quant’s circle of relatives mentioned she died “peacefully at home” in Surrey, southern England, on Thursday.
The circle of relatives referred to as her “one of the most internationally recognized fashion designers of the 20th Century and an outstanding innovator of the Swinging Sixties.”
Quant helped popularize the miniskirt — some credit her with inventing it — and the cutting edge tights that went in conjunction with it, growing attire and equipment that have been an integral a part of the glance. She created mix-and-match, easy clothes that had a component of caprice. Some when compared her affect at the model international to the Beatles’ affect on pop tune.
