Fashion Advice For 2010
The 1960s will always be remembered as an era of change. If one word defines the era, it is “liberation.” Many of the major social movements that have shaped our world today began in the sixties. If you want fearless fashion advice, look to the sixties!
From the Civil Rights Movement to Women’s liberation, the 60s paved the way. This era of liberation even spread to the fashion industry. No other lasting item of apparel proves this point more than the mini skirt.
Mini skirt, mini-skirt or miniskirt – spell it as you like it is the same thing: short, sassy and sexy. The mini skirt made its debut in 1964 when a French fashion house made the bold move of moving the hemline of skirts up above the knee.
The style didn’t catch on, however, until a British designer took the idea and pushed the hemline up even further. At that time, in 1966, the mini skirt was called the Chelsea style.
It was then that the miniskirt swept the world off its feet. Young women, recently liberated from girdles, thanks to the invention of pantyhouse, embraced the mini with a passion. Before long, every self-respecting woman under the age of 30 was turning heads on the streets and in the nightclubs of London, New York and San Francisco in a mini skirt.
Gradually, mini-skirts were replaced by the next big thing in fashion, but they never disappeared altogether. While the denim mini continues to be the biggest seller, their are still plenty of bold young women who wear them in everything from vinyl to leather. They are still the sexiest skirts around, too, especially if they’re in see-through fabrics or in a schoolgirl or nurse design.
If you’re looking for fearless fashion advice, take it from the sixties. The sixties told us to do our own thing and “if it feels good, do it.” Don’t listen to anybody else, girls – do what you want!
