Inventor of the mini skirt: Mary Quant
The first fashion designer to present the miniskirt to Buckingham Palace, Mary Quant was born in 1934. She studied teaching at the University of London, Goldsmith College, and her acquaintance with fashion began by adapting paper motifs. Quant's first customers, who sold the clothes she designed in her studio apartment and paid for the fabric the next day, were from the same social circle as him.
