Quant, Mary
English fashion designer, whose ‘Chelsea Girl’ look made London the fashion centre of the ‘swinging sixties’. She popularized the miniskirt, pioneered the concept of the boutique, and later built up a multinational empire selling her cosmetics.
Quant opened her first boutique, called Bazaar, in King's Road, Chelsea, London, in 1955. This was in partnership with her husband Alexander Plunket-Greene and photographer Archie McNair. In the 1970s she moved into cosmetics.
