SS 23 trend: the 10 long skirts to have Only rule, that they be in denim
Annabel Rosendahl
A step forward or backward for denim skirts, which this season abandon the mini hemlines to which they had accustomed us and dust off midi and maxi lengths criss-crossed by slits, moved by drapes and surrounded by asymmetries. But the history of the denim skirt begins in the 1970s, when the custom of sewing skirts with bold hues from used trousers spread among hippies. In the 1980s they overdo it with maxi pockets, buttons and balloon shapes, while it is the 1990s that brings the denim mini to the fore, short and high-waisted. The early 2000s saw the emergence of pencil skirts, severe and perfect, but it was not until 2003 that minis took on micro proportions, both in length and waist height. Since then, denim skirts have remained stable with proportional lengths and more or less accentuated effects in a measured play of cut and seam. The year 2023 brings the long skirt to the fore, rips it, colours it, cuts it, but makes it absolutely desirable. Try it out to believe it.
