Jacques Dutronc - Mini Mini Mini

The miniskirt (often hyphenated as mini-skirt) is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees (generally 20 cm - about 8 inches - or more above knee level). Another way to tell whether a skirt is in fact a mini is to check if the wearer can reach past the hemline of the skirt with her ring and index finger while standing straight; if she cannot, it is not a mini. The mini was the defining fashion symbol of "swinging" London in the 1960s.
