Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Why is this relevant for MIS? Not entirely - but she was a huge influence on skirted fashion, helping usher in the miniskirt and such looks:
It is hard now to understand the power of her influence and the shock of the new coltish, childlike fashion of the time that focused attention on long legs when tights with all kinds of decorative effects in all colours replaced stockings and suspenders. “Good designers must catch the spirit of the day. The whole point of fashion is to make fashionable clothes available to everyone,” she once said. Some of her most famous designs included PVC raincoats, skinny rib sweaters, hot pants, jersey dresses and one piece suits called “onesies”. She also challenged established gender norms by promoting trousers and suits as fashionable womenswear.
I was just reading the chapter about her in https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250275806/skirts a few days before the stories broke about her death. Quite an amazing person in terms of how she affected the fashion world and broke some class barriers in terms of access to her designs.
