Mary Quant: queen of the mini-skirt - Yahoo News Australia

Mary Quant, the subject of a major retrospective opening at London's Victoria & Albert Museum this week, was the fashion queen of Britain's Swinging Sixties. The 85-year-old has gone down in history for popularising the mini-skirt and for making women's clothes fun and affordable. Whether she actually invented the iconic fashion item has been the subject of a long and bitter dispute with late French designer Andre Courreges, among others. But her role in turning thigh-skimming super-short hemlines into an international trend has not been disputed. Known almost as much for her iconic bob hairstyle as for her designs, the petite Quant also created hot pants, the skinny rib sweater and waterproof mascara.
