miniskirt. Though it is associated with the 1960s, the mini- skirt has been worn by women in all decades since, with in- creasing general approval as the years passed and prudishness capitulated to sexual power. Said to be the creation of French designer André Courrèges, the very short skirt was first called a “miniskirt” about 1964. An even shorter version of the mini- skirt is called the micromini. Other “mini” words include mini- bike, minibus, minimart, mininuke, minipark, and minivan. |
