The miniskirt: This is the return of the garment that revolutionized fashion

It is still not known very well if who invented the miniskirt - that garment that revolutionized fashion and that looks good at 50 and 20 - was the British designer Mary Quant (1934) or Andrés Courrèges (1923), but the truth is the truth isthat both had a lot to do with their popularity.While it was Mary Quant who threw her to stardom with her youthful designs and with a pop touch, Andrés Courrèges was the one who combined them with boots and leotards.The French designer thus distanced himself from the previous concept of femininity based on heel and transparent socks."Only with flat boots and heels are still in contact with the ground and reality," said the creator.His designs had straight cuts and walked away a few centimeters from the body, thus achieving a new, younger and more comfortable image.

Although 'classic' designers like Chanel - Creator of the Bag 2.55, another fashion icon with a lot.That voluptuousness of the 50 had given way to a somewhat more androgynous and young image: long legs, short skirts, huge eyes, xl eyelashes, freckles and washed face but an exaggerated look with huge eyelashes...The aesthetic icon of the new era was the 'new lolita' that perfectly embodied Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton or Penelope Tree.

London marked the pattern with its King's Road or Carnaby Street stores, where Mary Quant had his own.From there to stardom when he presented his miniskirt on a world tour (photo below).The miniskirt was undoubtedly the invention of the decade, which changed the behavior of women and gave them freedom of movements.

In Spain its implementation would be somewhat slower, although television helped us be accustomed to it.His consecration would be through Massiel's performance in 1968 in Eurovision - achieving one of the victories for Spain - and his mythical minid.

Since then, the length of the skirt has been rising and going down according to trends, but it is already conquered land without reverse to which women can return when they want.And this year, fashion proposes that we do it in the style of those 60s, with flat shoe, with high boots, with bainas and high neck jerseys, the wild pledge of the fashion experts, in the 'Lolita style' and ParisianAt the same time, in an irresistible chic that will cost us to say no.

The miniskirt: How does this fashion classic take today?

In 2021, the miniskirt is taken again with flat boots and shoe, in the purest 'swinging London' style.Therefore, for now forget about the vampire look with stilettos and replace them with boots if you want heel.The result will be much more current.Another style trick?Conjunct it with a cropped jacket, one of the most stylized garments.

In Chanel and Miu Miu we see it in Tweed, in pastel and straight colors.In Giambattista Valli, with floral and romantic print.And Alberta Ferretti proposes it tight and sexy, combined with Roman sandals.A look we are already practicing this summer.
