| Notes | ‘Perfection. Simple. Understated. Utterly wearable.’ These words, a response typical of many fashion writers when describing Knuckey’s designs, are more that suitable to describe this stylish dress for younger women. In the 1960s the influence of British popular culture was extensive. One of the most important fashion trends of this movement was the invention of the mini - skirt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
