Mini Skirts explained


Skirt Wars!

It was the year the world changed from black and white...to colour.

In a year of kaleidoscopic and outrageous fashion, the Mini skirt practically disappeared - well, it couldn�t have got any shorter - and was replaced by the trendy Midi and Maxi.

One group of lorry drivers was so disappointed about the disappearance of the mini skirt that they led a campaign to save it that even made national television!
