Mary Quant, the British designer who helped popularize the miniskirt and dressed much of swinging ’60s London, died this morning at her home in Surrey, England. She was 93.
Her family announced the death in a statement to Britain’s PA news agency. Additional details were not immediately available.
While short skirts had existed long before Ms. Quant began designing hers with an above-the-knee hemline, she was credited with turning the miniskirt into an international phenomenon, even as other designers — notably André Courrèges of France — claimed to have invented it themselves.

Quant’s family said she died “peacefully at home” in Surrey, southern England, on Thursday. The family called her “one of the most internationally recognized fashion designers of the 20th Century and an outstanding innovator of the Swinging Sixties.” Quant helped popularize the miniskirt — some credit her with inventing it — and the innovative tights that went along with it, creating dresses and accessories that were an integral part of the look. She created mix-and-match, simple garments that had an element of whimsy. Some compared her impact on the fashion world to the Beatles’ impact on pop music.
