Looking at the major brands of women's wear in the Fall/Winter 2022 collection, the super miniskirt accounts for a large proportion of fashion elements, but this is not the first return of the miniskirt. In the new era of frigidity and postmodern winds gradually passing, what does the display of the legs represent?
Recently, #Coachella Wear # frequently appeared on the hot search, once again focusing everyone's attention on the sexy and hot style. Many of the supermodels and actresses here are dressed in very cool and stylish clothes, including many super miniskirts. Not only miniskirts, but also bandeaus and waist-baring tops are also very popular, and this millennial hot girl outfit is no longer the outfit of a few women, and gradually penetrates into the blood of every trendy and enthusiastic girl.
In this day and age, miniskirts are no longer a visual benefit for men, but a woman's right to pursue comfort and beauty. There are even comments that coachella is not just a music festival, but an alternative new way of walking the catwalk.
Speaking of miniskirts, the earliest may be traced back to ancient Roman times, when women would assume many different social roles every day, so they would also have different forms in clothing. Moreover, the ancient Roman women's pursuit of clothing forms is relatively casual, in other words, the appeal of easy care and saving fabrics, so the prototype of the "first mini skirt" was born.
For a long time after that, due to religious beliefs and other aspects, European women pursued long skirts that wrapped their bodies, until after the reorganization of the First World War, women's skirt length began to change qualitatively.
Although Coco Chanel herself had an aversion to women's knees and made knee-length knit skirts, it has to be said that the length of the skirts she made has been revolutionary compared to before. So sister believes that this can be a turning point in postmodern dressing.

The outbreak of the Second World War, the shortage of materials in all aspects made many people's lives stretched, fabrics are also one of the aspects, especially leather and fur, etc. are prohibited, women's eyes are focused on some more lightweight fabrics. And the more depressed the economy, the more everyone's eyes are on play, so there are many entertainment industries in this period, and retro posters of the "frivolous girl" style are very popular, and for a time it has become the trend of the army.
The miniskirts of the previous period did not dominate society, and under the background of elegant long skirts, miniskirts existed in a short-lived way until the 60s.
The real popularity of miniskirts was around the 60s, when designers were more open in design, bringing to life many of the stage costumes that existed in the 40s and 50s, as well as the miniskirt elements in science fiction movies, and have since become popular.
This kind of clothing, which was immediately highly sought after by women who pursued fashion and freedom, was very popular in the 60s and 70s, and quickly became a symbol of fashion and mavericks. Although Ms. Coco Chanel at that time still thought that this style was very unconventional, it did not affect the miniskirt from becoming a trend style in the future until now.
A generation of idols, Little Sweet Britney, is one of the representatives of the super short skirt hot girls, the childish face with very little fabric clothing, a sense of pure desire impact comes to the face, even now it is not outdated at all.
The well-known British girl group Spice Girls Choir, that is, the girl group where Xiao Bei's wife Victoria stayed, can be regarded as a strong advocate of miniskirts. In fact, from this time on, the high-end ready-to-wear concept of the fashion house has gradually been diluted, new ideas have surged, and the style promoted by young people has gradually taken a place. Dress hot, sexy, free, and fill the circle of young people's lives.
In the popular American drama "Gossip Girl", you can also see the shadow of many hot girls' miniskirts, the overall concept and costume style of this drama not only runs through the sense of wealth in the Upper East Side, but also contains the life style of rebellious young people.
The concept of the miniskirt, which appeared frequently in the Autumn/Winter 2022 Fashion Week, was highly regarded by major brands and designers, perhaps because of the prevalence of the millennium spice girl style, or perhaps the free style of young people affecting the high fashion house. In short, the miniskirt is back.

CHANEL, which was once unimpressed with miniskirts, has also carved miniskirts into the brand's DNA after several years of change.
The best way to shape the miniskirt concept is the recent MIU MIU, countless KOLs and stars have been on the body, and even male models have also interpreted this miniskirt, which can be described as a soul of this spring and summer.
Known for its sexiness, VERSACE gives the miniskirt more elements - hot, sexy, and in contrast to the MIU MIU, it abandons the sense of pure desire, so as to be more suitable for people of different styles.
