I didn't expect to write about
women's fashions to the editor of a
predominantly male university, but
I feel I must reply to your editorial,
Bye-Bye Mini.
I don't believe the mini is out. It
is out for my mother and grandmother,
they never wore it anyway.
But it simply doesn't make sense
for young girls to wear long
unflattering drooping skirts. Young
women today are independent and
certainly have the sense to keep
wearing what they look nice in, not
what fashion editors say is fashionable.
What is "in" for me is what
looks good on me, not what some
"fashion expert?" in Paris says. And
I think other women feel the same
way. So fashion experts you're in
for a surprise. I agree with Jacques
Tiffeau - "Damn the past! I will
not be pushed around by Women's
Wear Daily." I'm not from Outer
Slobbovia and I won't wear those
mid-calf fashions.
