Mary Quant - the fashion designer who was credited with making the infamous mini skirt popular in the sixties - has died at the age of 93, and the fashion world have paid tribute
Fashion designer Dame Mary Quant, who was widely credited with popularising the mini skirt, has died at the age of 93, her family said, and tributes to the fashion icon have poured in.
She wrote: “Very sad news today to learn of the passing of the 60s daringly creative, fun genius, much-loved lady, Dame Mary Quant. Following the news, fellow designer Sir Paul Smith said: “I’m very sad to hear about the passing of Mary Quant, she was a brave innovator who was constantly modern, willing to shock and blessed with a business and personal partner, Plunket Greene, who could help turn her ideas into reality.”
Dame Twiggy Lawson remembered Dame Mary Quant as a “brilliant female entrepreneur” who “revolutionised fashion”. Lister said: “It’s impossible to overstate Dame Mary Quant’s contribution to fashion. With her unique sense of humour, style, and determination to democratise and share the fun and creativity of her designs, she provided a new kind of role model for young women, creating a space for them to be themselves.
Alexandra Shulman, former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, paid tribute to Dame Mary Quant following her death, writing on Twitter: “RIP Dame Mary Quant. A leader of fashion but also in female entrepreneurship- a visionary who was much more than a great haircut.”
