emma peel
the mini skirt made its debut in 1964 and quickly became a bastion of youth culture and defiance. mary quant, the london-based designer responsible for the skirt, sought to reflect an era that was “arrogant, aggressive, and sexy.” accordingly, the mini skirt was a popular choice for independent and progressive women in the 1960s. during the violent protests and events of may 1968 in france, the mini skirt became a symbol of female revolution and defiance. andre courrèges popularized the hemline in france. while the nostalgia of the 1970s saw a return to more conventional hemlines, the mini skirt persists as a symbol of women’s rights and sexual liberation to this day.
