Although there are many theories on who created the iconic 1960s miniskirt, the consensus is that it was the English designer Mary Quant.

Few women, with the exception of certain athletes, had worn miniskirts until Quant began selling them from her legendary boutique Bazaar, located in the equally famous King’s Road, in London.

But the truth is that if you study the history of humanity, you can see that the miniskirt was present in ancient civilisations. As an example, was it not something worn by Roman legionaries?

Mary Quant has, therefore, built on an already existing concept in proposing the miniskirt, which takes us to this interesting thought: ‘The important thing is not being first, but in conceptualising it.’
