MINI LEGEND

MINI LEGEND



By Pete Samson

THERE may not be much of it, but
the miniskirt has been voted our
favourite fashion item ever.
It beat more modern offerings,
such as combats, the poncho and
trainers, to top spot yesterday.
Created by designer Andre
Courreges and popularised by
Mary Quant, the mini was a symbol
of the 60s. But it has stood the test
of time - as a Harvey Nichols poll
of 3,500 shoppers has proved.
Jeans were second, followed by
the Little Black Dress.
A spokesman for Harvey Nichols
said: “The top three will forever be
in fashion.”
But the 70s cowboy boots made
the worst 10 as well as the top.
The top fashion crime was the shell suit.

1 ............. Miniskirt
2 ............. Jeans
3 ............. Little Black Dress
4 ............. Flares
5 ............. Cowboy boots
