The miniskirt did
not get its name from the length of the skirt, but rather it was named after
Mini Cooper cars.
Several
designers have been credited with the invention of the 1960s miniskirt, most
significantly the London-based designer Mary Quant and Parisian André
Courréges. Whether or not Quant invented the miniskirt, it is widely agreed
that she was one of its highest-profile champions. Quant loved Mini Cooper
cars and named the garment after them, saying that car and skirt were both “optimistic,
exuberant, young flirty,” and complemented each other.
