The invention of X has been credited to Mary Quant and Andre Couregges. But X is widely associated with Mary Quant who ran the cult King’s Road boutique Bazaar (co-founded with her husband, Alexander Plunket Greene, and Archie McNair), started dealing in X – hitherto the domain of sportswomen – in 1966. Quant’s muse was an anonymous tap dancer she spied at the dance studio where she used to attend ballet class. Quant famously named the X after her favourite car, the Mini Cooper. ID X.
