There is no more retro icon than…the miniskirt! A short piece of clothing that covers only the upper part of the legs, it was first popularized in the 1960s and became a symbol of sexual liberation and women’s liberation The miniskirt was created by British designer Mary Quant and became famous after model Jean Shrimpton wore it at the opening of a horse race in 1965. It became a key element of mod fashion and it was soon adopted by women all over the world as a way to show their independence and freedom.
