Description
Twelve inches off the ground, according to Christian Dior; exactly at the knee, according to Coco Chanel; as short as possible, according to Mary Quant. It is time to ask the question: is the prevailing skirt length of the time inversely proportional to the state of women's emancipation? The answer may surprise you!
