10 Best Sixties Style Icons

Think fashion in the Sixties, think Mary Quant. Best-known as the creator of the miniskirt (one of the defining looks of the Sixties) - although André Courréges also lays claim to this - she also pioneered other styles that became known as signature Sixties: coloured and patterned tights, paint-box make-up, plastic macs and, in the later Sixties, hotpants. Her first shop on London's King's Road, Bazaar - the destination for cool-cats and trendsetters - became so popular she opened another one in Knightsbridge and, by 1965, was importing to the US. Prominent journalist Bernard Levin aptly described her as the 'High Priestess of Sixties Fashion' and, in 1966, she was honoured with an OBE for her services to the fashion industry.
