Mini skirt inventor Mary Quant passes away at 93

Mary Quant, the British fashion designer credited with designing the mini skirt, has passed away in southern England at the age of 93. Quant played a significant role in defining the look of the Swinging Sixties, popularising short skirts, loud stockings and a mix-and-match style. Known for her geometric hairstyle and trademark sharp fringe, Quant's impact on the world of sixties fashion has been compared to the Beatles' influence on pop music.
