Her miniskirt and other collection of hers gained attention from media like Harper’s Bazaar.

Quant innovated the coloured and patterned tights, short shorts, and hot pants, and therefore, she became an icon in the industry.

As of 1967, Quant was known to design berets in twelve colours for British headwear company Kangol, which  carried her daisy logo.

She also delved into household goods, make-up, and duvet.

In 2000, Quant resigned as director of her company, Mary Quant Ltd, after she sold it to a Japanese. Today, “there are over 200 Mary Quant Colour shops in Japan.”
