British fashion designer Dame Mary Quant has died aged 93.
On April 13, Mary Quant - who is credited with popularizing the miniskirts that helped define the 60s - passed away "peacefully at home in Surrey," her family announced. Since then, tributes have been pouring in from the fashion world and beyond. Twiggy, who became a style icon during the era, said Dame Mary had "such an influence on young girls in the late 50s early 60s". In a post on social media, she wrote, "She revolutionised fashion and was a brilliant female entrepreneur. The 1960s would have never been the same without her."
