FINDING THE PERFECT MINI SKIRT 

With it's countless cuts, materials, and colors, you are sure to find the mini skirt that's right for you. However, because of this fashion diversity, it's hard to tell just by looking which skirt will complement your figure. One skirt you see on a super model in Vogue may look awful on you, while another that looked unappealing might have a special charm to it once you've tried it on yourself. Understanding some of the fashion "do's and don'ts" of mini skirts, you'll be able to create your own flattering signature look.

When you go shopping for a mini skirt, you need to first assess the cut of the skirt. There are very tight ones, made from spandex, that were popular in the 1980s. These are only suitable for those us of gifted with extremely toned and shapely buns and thighs. Another cut is the "A-line" which is a plain-edged, not particularly tight fitting cut that first became popular during the 1960's and 1970's during the so-called "Women's Liberation Movement". Happily, this style is suitable for most everyone, because the plain lines draw attention away from any leg imperfections.

Some may consider the A-line look too plain, so for this audience there is the ultra feminine silky mini skirt. This skirt has lots of layers of almost transparent silks and raffias, both of which have a pixie fairy-like quality to them. The interesting thing about this style is that it originated in the 1920s, when flapper styles were all the rage. The skirt was not actually above the knee, but was designed in such a way that when the flapper girl walked or danced, her knee and lower thigh were exposed. As you may imagine,the style was very avant garde for those times. Fringes at the hem were often part of this flapper style mini skirt.

These short skirts make excellent companions to shoes, because you can combine them with any heel height. A mini skirt paired with heels always makes your legs look longer, leaner, and more toned. Boots, too, look great with the mini skirt. This look is classic mini skirt, going back to the 1970's, when go-go dancing was popular.

You may think that mini skirts are only suitable for summer. However, this is just not the case. As the weather gets cooler, you may still like one particular skirt that was a summer favorite. Not to worry! Instead of letting it go to waste, why not get a pair of leggings? With leggings, you can wear these skirts at any time of the year. Worn with a long coat, you can be both warm and pretty!

Hussein Chalayan Spring Summer 2007 Collection

Paris, 4 October 2006 -- Hussein Chalayan continues to view the world as a research laboratory but with an added hint of the supernatural. The dresses, fluid and light, sometimes responding to the geometric criteria and at other times presenting Swarovski crystals, are evidence of impeccably mastered and detailed work. And to bring the catwalk to a close, the designer proposes a 'Return to the Future' with dresses that transform themselves, as if by magic, amid the amused and stunned spectators.
