incorrect! Miniskirt-wearing statuettes have been found by archaeologists in Europe that date back to between 5400 and 4700 BC. Additionally, miniskirt-wearing female acrobats have been seen in ancient Egyptian artwork. When African American artist Josephine Baker performed for “un vent de folie” at the cabaret music hall, folies bergere in Paris, wearing a miniskirt fashioned of — we’re not kidding — bananas, hemlines rose in response to the flapper’s arrival in the 1920s. A banana-made miniskirt! really? We honor Josephine Baker for her service to the civil rights movement, her unofficial leadership role in the movement in the United States extended by civil rights activist and Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow, Coretta Scott King, her assistance to the French resistance during World War II, her receipt of the French military decoration, the Croix de guerre, and her appointment as a chevalier of the legion d’honneur. nonetheless, she must have this time… gone bananas. (Pardon the pun.) (You may yawn at twerking videos of this California infant named Miley Cyrus; see the classic banana dance, known as danse banane, here. nonetheless, breast twerking by Sara X… ) While knee-length skirts were the vogue in the 1950s, while the globe was healing from globe War II, miniskirts started to show up in science fiction movies. You may recall Anne Francis from “Forbidden Planet” or Margueriete Chapman from “Flight to Mars” for her eye-catching blue miniskirt and deep V neckline. Science fiction always appears to be… ahead of its time, whether in terms of story or style. British designer Mary Quant lifted the hemline of her own skirt in the 1960s, naming it after her own automobile, the mini, following the street styles she witnessed. Quant responded, “It wasn’t me or Courrèges who invented the miniskirt anyway—it was the girls in the street who did it,” to the controversy surrounding the origins of the miniskirt. However, as great minds often think alike, French designer André Courreges had also experimented with hemlines with his space-age dresses. Lesley Lawson, a.k.a. Twiggy, was an English supermodel with short hair, wide eyes, longlashes, and stick thin features. She eventually became the unofficial face of the miniskirt. But because of the political unrest brought on by the Vietnam War, hemlines dropped to the ankle in 1969. The miniskirt was not successful in returning until 1982, when the rah-rah skirt—a short, voguish layered skirt—was introduced. In the 1990s, women began wearing miniskirts to work after being inspired by Heather Locklear in “Melrose Place” and Calista Flockhart in “ally McBeal.” The miniskirt is still a mainstay in women’s wardrobes in the twenty-first century. Celebrities like Britney Spears, who was undoubtedly not too cautious about her appearance, often pair their miniskirts with shirts that expose their midriffs. Ladies, let’s not re-legs too much. Italian fashion designer Giambattista Valli wasn’t kidding our leg when he declared that his haute couture was all “legs, legs, legs.” Belgian fashion designer Rafael Simons and French fashion designer Hedi Slimane are both a bit too not over miniskirts. Kindly keep shaving your legs and use baby wipes to soothe your skin. because having a kid and traveling about Singapore with your chic diaper bag may prevent you from having the opportunity to wear miniskirts.
