By 1966 Mary Quant was producing short waist skimming mini dresses and skirts that were set 6 or 7 inches above the knee. It would not be right to suggest she invented the fashion mini skirt. In 1965 she took the idea from the 1964 designs by Courrèges and liking the shorter styles she made them even shorter for her boutique Bazaar. She is rightly credited with making popular a style that had not taken off when it made its earlier debut.
Mini Skirt PictureQuant found London girls seeking newness only too willing to try her new daring short mini skirt. The fashion trend took off because it was so different and to wear it well you had to be youthful to get away with an outfit that was so controversial, particularly among adults. The Quant style was soon known as the Chelsea Look
When I looked up this information about miniskirt,I was surprised because I compared to the time mini skirt was popular in Korea. A woman,who was a famous singer in Korea around 1980. when she wore a mini skirt at first, It was big issue.
I think mini skirt was fad in 1960. now It seems like trend because It have been worn till now. :)
