The History of the Mini Skirt - When the World First Saw This Item.

The mini skirt became popular thanks to British designer Mary Quant. In the early 20th century, short clothing was considered vulgar, but in the 1960s, Quant changed the perception of fashion. The ultra-short skirt became a part of her signature style, although she never claimed the title of 'the mother of the mini skirt'.

'Actually, it wasn't me or Courrèges who invented the mini skirt — it was the girls on the streets who came up with it',

Probably, the idea was conceived earlier, but it was Mary Quant who popularized this type of clothing. In 1965, model Jean Shrimpton appeared in a short dress, causing a real sensation. The following year, Quant was awarded an order for her contribution to the fashion industry.

After that, the ultra-short skirt became extremely popular, paired with shirts and jackets. Women began to show off their beautiful legs, which had previously been hidden due to stereotypes. Today, the mini skirt has remained in fashion for 60 years, serving as a versatile wardrobe item that can be combined in both summer and winter.
