This week, Sadie tells us all about the inventor of the mini-skirt (and so much more!) popularized in the 1960s during the first "cool Britannica" era, also known as the 'swinging 60's' or the 'British invasion.' Quant's designs were accessible and liberating and reflected the changing attitudes towards gender and fashion of the era. Her influence on fashion and culture continues to be felt today, and she remains an icon of British fashion history. She also passed away the day this episode was recorded, making this episode a very timely celebration of the fashion designer's life and legacy in the world of design, style, art, and pop culture.
