Remembering Mary Quant: The Fashion Revolutionary Who Defined the Swinging Sixties
Mary Quant, the fashion designer who helped define the Swinging Sixties in London, has died at the age of 93. She was known for popularizing hot pants, miniskirts, and Vidal Sassoon bobs. Quant opened a shop on Kings Road that evolved into a global fashion brand. She also elevated several of the era's top British models and developed a line of makeup. Her influence endures, with recent retrospectives dedicated to her work at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Taiwan.
