Fashion — 1965-1970
Skirt
This purple suede mini skirt was purchased from a jumble sale in Fulham.
Miniskirts were popular from around 1965 and were at their shortest in 1967. The 'invention' of the short skirt is often attributed to Mary Quant, but other designers, such as André Courrèges, were shortening hemlines at the same time.
