Quant rose to fame as the face of London’s Youthquake in the 1960s. She undoubtedly made the miniskirt the “it” piece of apparel for a new generation of young women, despite the fact that she is frequently mistakenly recognized as the originator. She was constantly photographed and was virtually always wearing a mini, notably on the occasion of earning her OBE in 1966. She was known for her Vidal Sassoon hairstyle and growing image as the face of Swinging London. Quant not only wore miniskirts but also created them.

She led the fashion revolution of the 1960s, which for the first time gave youngsters center stage. Her attire was vibrant, colorful, cozy, and straightforward, drawing design cues from school uniforms and subcultures like the mods. Her outfits weren’t cheap—a pinafore dress cost six guineas in 1963, or just over £100—but they were less expensive than those produced by designer labels.

They are attracted to a new generation of young women with employment, and more disposable income to spend on clothes. In her famous autobiography Quant by Quant from 1966, the designer encapsulated the new era’s attitude by stating that “the young were essentially tired of wearing the same as their mothers.”
