Mary Quant is known for a lot of different styles. To name a few she created and designed dresses with strong colors and striking geometric designs like the “wet” look, micro-mini skirt, and being one of the creators of the “Chelsea look”. Quant helped make London the center of fashion during the 1960s. Another signature style of Quant was the vinyl boots and the “paintbox” make-up. These designs made Quant one of the most famous fashion designers of the 1960s.

The design that put Quant on the map is her creation of the mini-skirt. This design was so famous because it became one of the most defining fashions of the 1960s. Mary Quant named this design after her favorite car, the Mini.
