Remembering Mary Quant: British Fashion Revolutionary and Creator of the Miniskirt.

Mary Quant, the British fashion designer known as the mother of the miniskirt, has died at age 93. Quant's aesthetic helped usher in the "Youthquake" of the 1960s, and her daringly short mini skirts and shift dresses became her trademark. She was a liberator of women who helped them realize they should wear what they want to do whatever they pleased. Quant was more than a great haircut or a maker of great clothes; she was an expert in personal style before it became a buzzword.
