Women's Mini Skirt Fashions

The beginning of the mini skirt in the 1960s was credited to the London fashion designer Mary Quant, who began actually producing the short mini dress and mini skirt that were both set six to seven inches above the knee. Although, the French designer André Courrèges is considered the mini skirt's true inventor. In 1965 Quant took the idea from the 1964 designs by Courrèges and took the shorter styles and made them mini skirts that were even shorter for her boutique Bazaar. Mary Quant is rightfully credited with making the mini skirt a popular style that had not taken off when it made its earlier debut in France.

The mini skirt fashion trend took off because it was so different and to wear it well you had to be young. For the first time ever in any fashion era, the young became the leaders of fashion. The Quant style was soon known as the Chelsea Look.

The mini skirt eventually evolved into the micro mini in 1967, which was nothing but a tiny strip of material that finished just below the bottom. Girls briefly experimented with pulling and stretching their stockings as high as possible, but soon the mini skirt reached new heights and pantyhose replaced stockings and suspenders. Women's hemlines of the 1960s were a gauge of contemporary attitudes: when the consumerist 'Swinging Sixties' was at its height, so were women's hemlines.

By the end of the decade, with the two extremes of skirt length popular (micro and mini), as well as the midi length, Vogue proclaimed, "The length of your skirt is how you feel this moment."

When women began to consider their personal comfort and lifestyle when choosing their fashions, the midi and maxi skirts soon made their appearance.

During the 1970s, the mini skirt popularity faded, as women wanted to be respected for their mental capabilities rather than their beauty. In the 1990s mini skirt fashions came back, often seen on popular sitcoms like Friends and Sex in the City. Women began to realize they could be respected for both intelligence and beauty.
