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. |
