What is a mini skirt?
Miniskok is a type of skirt with a hem line that stops above the knee. It is related to Maxiskirt, a more modest clothing in which the hem ends closer to the ankles. The skirt can be made of any material, although stretch synthetics such as nylon and spandex are popular. These skirts can be seen in denim, knits, lace and any other substance that the manufacturer can imagine.
The inventor of this style of skirt is not clear, although the clothing began at the end of the 50th century. Miniskok was a bold step in the history of rising hemlines, which began in the 1920s of the 20th century Bubnář era. The end of the First World War was the beginning of the funny era, which was welcome with many fashion innovations, including short dresses and skirts that left little imagination.
The style became an icon of London culture at the age of 60 and quickly jumped into the Atlantic to America, where trend is trendry. Several designers are attributed to bringing fame minIsukni, including Andre Courreges, who incorporated it into the appearance of "Mod" in the mid -sixties. Miniskok Courreges was paired with high robust shoes, the appearance is only possible with a short skirt, because the shoes would cover longer skirts or pants.
Mary Quant, a Welsh designer, also had a hand in popularization of style and Helen Rose designed a mini skirt for use in the late 50 years. John Bates popularized the use of exotic materials such as vinyl paired with the naked midriff. Miniskok has an even smaller cousin, microsirt or micromini, who has an even higher hem. Mikrochirts are often rejected mockingly, because they leave even less imagination and their popularization has resulted in a trend towards the tights, rather than stockings, to ensure complete coverage of the groin area, which could easily be exposed to microchirties.
In the 70s of the years there was a short return to longer withUkně, some suggesting that it was the result of a feminist protest of a miniskirt. However, the 1980s brought short skirts with revenge, paired with high shoes, outrageous stockings or tight jeans. The microsirt also made a comeback to make mixed reviews.
