“There’s long been division in the ranks of fashion historians over who invented the miniskirt. Some insist it was André Courrèges in Paris; others assert it was Mary Quant in London. One authority who was there at the time, however, was certain it was someone else entirely.”
And that is where John Bates comes into the picture. Personally, I would like to thank him. My Dad, I’m sure considered the miniskirt something no daughter should be caught dead in. Ah… the seventies!
