TL;DR Summary

Mary Quant, the fashion designer who popularized the miniskirt and transformed women's fashion in the Swinging '60s, has died at the age of 93. She offered young women a new, more liberated way of dressing, free from the girdles and restrictive undergarments of previous generations. Quant's designs included tights in a rainbow of colors, short "mini" skirts, HotPants, and flat shoes. She also developed a license-heavy lifestyle brand that included lingerie, tights, footwear, accessories, costume jewelry, color cosmetics, interior designs, and a Daisy toy doll range meant to rival Barbie.
