Mod fashion pioneer Dame Mary Quant has died aged 93 

British fashion designer Dame Mary Quant, largely responsible for popularizing the ground-breaking mini skirt synonymous with London style in the ‘Swinging Sixties,’ died peacefully at her home in the UK on Thursday. She was 93. The Londoner opened a multi-brand boutique on the famous Kings Road in 1955 called Bazaar which became a hotspot for every local and visiting young star of the ensuing decade, but it was her own designs that put her on the map. A self-taught designer, the pieces that are most associated with her are the mini skirt—which she nicknamed ‘the mini’ after the car—as well as colored tights, berets, and ultra short shorts that would go on to inspire the prevailing hot pants of the ’70s. Taking her inspiration from the ‘Chelsea set’ of young bohemians around her store, sharp British tailoring, and clean lines of Italian sportswear, her aesthetic began to shape what would ultimately become Mod (short for Modernists) fashion. According to the V&A, she’s credited with creating the skinny rib sweater and being the first designer to use PVC in clothing. In 1962, she signed a lucrative design contract with J.C. Penney, which brought her ‘London look’ stateside and like her American counterparts, she pursued endless categories thanks to licensing arrangements. Alexandra Shulman, the former editor in chief of British Vogue from 1992 to 2017, wrote on Twitter: “RIP Dame Mary Quant. A leader of fashion but also in female entrepreneurship- a visionary who was much more than a great haircut.”

It’s impossible to overstate Quant’s contribution to fashion. She represented the joyful freedom of 1960s fashion, and provided a new role model for young women.

Bella Hadid, Thom Browne, and more make TIME’s annual 100 most influential list

It’s here! TIME has published its annual 100 most influential people list and a number of celebrated figures from the fashion industry have been included. Among them is model Bella Hadid, thanks largely in part to that Coperni spray-on dress that made her a household name last year. Aside from her prowess as a supermodel on the runway and in campaigns, Hadid is credited for her vulnerability as a public figure and the activism she is involved with. Designer Thom Browne has been acknowledged for his significant impact on the world of fashion, and is recognized here for his innovative designs and the transformative nature of his work. Additionally, Yvon Chouniard, founder of outdoor clothing company Patagonia, has also been included,  which is particularly notable after his announcement that he eventually give away his entire fortune to causes combatting climate change.
