Twiggy and other leading lights from the fashion industry have paid tribute to Mary Quant after the acclaimed designer died aged 93.
‘It felt like freedom – “I can have a mini skirt and I can wear whatever colour tights I want and you can p*ss off”.
Born in south-east London on February 11, 1930, Dame Mary was the daughter of two Welsh school teachers. 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.’
Among her collection, she is arguably best known for conceiving the mini-skirt as well as helping to develop the mod style in the 1960s.
