The Briton was 93 years old and died at home

British fashion designer Mary Quant died on Thursday (13), aged 93, her family said in a statement released to the press. According to her relatives, she died at her home in Surrey in a “peaceful manner”.

Quant became very famous in the 50s and 60s and is considered a “mother of the miniskirt” for having acted in popularizing the “bold” clothing model for the time. Thanks to the British, an entire generation of “young women” was inspired by her innovation.

In 1955, the designer opened a clothing store called the Bazaar and her fashion vision meant that the point was frequented by several stars, such as members of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and actresses Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot. .
