		Mary Quant, the fashion icon who was the inspiration for the swinging 60s, has resigned from her empire under a veil of silence.
		Quant did not just design, but influenced the attitude of the 60s, dying her pubic hair green and telling the public about it and infamously talking about that taboo area "the crutch" in an interview for The Guardian's 1967 groundbreaking series, The Permissive Society.
		Quant was so inextricably associated with the sixties that the fading of her star once that decade ended was almost inevitable.
