Remembering Mary Quant: Fashion Revolutionary and Icon.

Mary Quant, the British fashion designer who defined the Swinging Sixties with her iconic designs including the miniskirt and hot pants, has died at the age of 93. Her colorful and unashamedly sexy clothes for a drastically changing world were adored by celebrities and young girls alike. She helped wipe out British postwar drabness and create a bold new way of dressing. Her King’s Road store, Bazaar, turned the street into a fashion mecca for affluent young shoppers. Ms. Quant was not just an early high-profile female fashion designer; she was also a powerful role model for working women.
