Who invented the miniskirt? Was it Mary Quant or Andre Courreges?
Well I have to tell you Andre is given the credit. However Mary Quant brought the miniskirt onto the world stage.Infact she was way ahead of her time, and opened a boutique in Chelsea in 1955 called the Bazaar.
She was later able to offer her colored tights and miniskirts to the masses at a price they could afford, by contracting with JC Penney, and agreeing to four collections a year.
Certainly we can say Mary Quant introduced the sixties fashion world to the miniskirt.
She was born in London, England on February 11, 1934. At an early age she took to sewing, and making clothes. Once when in bed sick, she cut up the bedspread with her nail scissors and visualized making a dress from its wild colors.
When she was older Mary had to persuade her parents to let her go to art school, they said yes, but only if she would agree to become an art teacher. She attended Goldsmiths College of Art in London. And it was there that she met her business partner, and future husband Alexander Plunket Greene.
She has an autobiography QUANT BY QUANT
