Mary Quant did! But apparently André Courrèges designed the mini skirt as well or the concept of it. Hope that helps :)
Lots of poeple have the misinformed belief that Mary Quant invented the skirt. Mary Quant definitely did NOT invent the skirt at all, she promoted a shortening of the skirt and thus is credited with inventing the MINI skirt , though the skirt itself existed thousands of years before that woman was even born. The invention of the skirt is lost in antiquities but was worn by both males and females thousands of years ago.
Mary Quant, leading fashion designer of the Mod and youth fashion movement of the 1960's resides in London. She is one of the designers credited with the invention of the mini skirt and hot pants that became fashion statements at the time.
