This Andre Courreges pink mini dress with two front pockets bears both the Courreges Paris and Harrods London labels. Mini dresses and skirts first appeared in the 1960s and were influenced by the fashion of the youths. According to some scholars, it was Andre Courreges who created the mini in 1965. Courreges (b. 1923) belonged to the group of designers who designed eye-catching and futuristic clothes in the 1960s.
