The miniskirt made fashion history for three distinct reasons: It showed more leg on a woman than ever noted in fashion history before, it represented the democratization of fashion as the influential grips of Parisian couture lessened and it helped to fuel a movement for female social and sexual liberation that began in the 1960s.

Defined as a skirt with a hemline averaging halfway up the knee (and falling approximately four inches below the butt!), the miniskirt was popularized by Mary Quant, who introduced her own version of the skirt at her London boutique Bazaar in 1964.
