At the NYT, I see "Brief Encounters With a Micro Miniskirt/A low-rise skirt by Miu Miu went viral last month. Here, three perspectives on wearing it."
And at The Cut, there's "The Life Span of a Micro-Mini Trend How the Miu Miu miniskirt ended up on every fashion-magazine cover."
The skirt has its own Instagram account, so let me embed this:
You see the idea. Very ordinary clothes are lopped off, and it seems to mean something.
This made me think of Yoko Ono's 1964 performance "Cut Piece":

Looks like something you might see at a porno shoot........according to a friend.
Yoko has always looked like a kook.
Women dress in order to be able to undress.
Nothing new under the Sun.
Why is she hiding her navel?
Isn't the navel the point of a bare midriff?
The feminine operation is concealing that nothing is concealed.
I’m not watching 8:55 of that.
Does it resemble rape? Idk- it felt that way…
It most definitely means something..it means our culture is exhausted. Miu miu is certainly late to the Deconstruction. The ripped, torn jeans; the mania for self mutilation— from body piercings to tattoo sleeves to jewel toned hair, black, lug-soled zombie chic, and trans body part swaps— we are a culture that can only create by inversion, mockery or destruction.
I was looking at footage of Kharkiv. Destroyed in two weeks. Buildings crumbling, churches sundered, streets empty. It only took two weeks. They showed footage of the same landscape from the end of January— a thriving urban Center, with beautiful monuments, civic halls and gold, onion-domed churches. How many hundreds of years and generations did it take to build?
Yes, it means "Look at my thighs!"
Okay, I will. Happily.
I guess it's okay to wear revealing clothes and long as they are ugly.
Very ordinary clothes are lopped off, and it seems to mean something.
The meaning is a total mystery.
Completely unfathomable.
What's old is new again. Females always do stuff to show their stuff and get attention. Whatever the flavor of the day, it always ends with less covering and more skin.
Ancient Roman Orgies ---> Nudist Colonies 100 years ago ---> Miniskirts in the 1960s ---> Jennifer Beales Flashdance clothes in the 1980s ---> Madonna, Brittney, Paris Hilton, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, the Kardashians, very young Ariana Grande in Playboy Bunny ears, and women famous leaked sex videos ---> Mini-minis return in the 2020s.
The extraordinary ordinary. Were the remnants recycled in a climate stasis-friendly fashion? That said, pretty girl.

And that makes you a 100% certified sexist pig. Just because women dress like this is no excuse to look at them, much less admire them
I'm of two minds.
1. That's a fine, fine, superfine outfit.
2. "You are NOT going out dressed like that."
Mini skirts aren't new. I owned lots of them twenty years ago. They weren't new then either.
Hey farmgirl. I take it your cut piece at the hospital was successful. Glad to see you back so soon.
I would pay good money not to see Yoko Ono naked.
Fine if you look like the women in those photos. They can wear pretty much anything.
Speaking of Yoko, a SiriusXM channel is promoting a special hosted by her son that celebrates her music as part of women's history month®.
Are women, gays, and minorities insulted when they have to have special 'months' foisted upon us in order to make an excuse to showcase their accomplishments?
Yoko makes about as much in music royalties as I do.
Her music sucks.
I hope she's ashamed but I know she's not.
I don't really care either way. Just stop complaining (bitching) when people (men) look (stare.)
I'm only referring to the still photo of the youngun. I'd like to see more of her, but won't click on the vid.
Yoko has always been of less than no interest to me.
Yoko ono seems to be one of those people who's IQ and ambition far exceeded her artistic talent.
Maybe that's why she captivated John Lennon. Of course, Lennon needed a strong woman.
I'm a 100% certified sexist pig! Is there a merit badge?

It means “Look at me! I need money and attention! My daddy didn’t love me enough!” As all of these types of things always come down to those issues.
A riff on cutoff jeans. Keep the pockets so they dangle below the no hemline…
That pic of the model has to be some sort of perspective trick, like when you hold the bass closer to the camera to make it look bigger, yes?
I appreciate that Althouse keeps her readers up to date on the latest from the teen/young adult section of the Times.
seems good.. Shorter equals better
The Real Villain in the world, is the Midi Skirt.. Those are Just WRONG
I saw a young woman in a mini skirt last night at Buck’s in Venice, Nebraska. It caught my attention. It was freezing cold last night!

I'd be more insulted that Yoko's music was seen as emblematic of women's music.
Seems to me that if you match a micro mini skirt up with thong style underwear you should be required to carry a towel around to sit on - for sanitary reasons.
I see what you've done! That picture in your post? It's a guy!! Now, evaluate all of the comments with that new perspective. Everyone's engrams are spinning!
I sat through the nearly nine minutes of nothing, and I don't blame Narr.
M-W-F on the New York Times: "Hey! Look at these scantily clad women making a fashion statement!"
T-Th-S on the New York Times: "Fucking Men and their Fucking Male Gaze"
Yoko's skit seems like more an imitation of sepuuko than nudity, a toss toward ritual suicide.
A man in japan slits his belly in seppuku, perhaps a woman opens her belly to view, and finds Japanese suicide in that.
Miss future Eloi.
Thank you.
More sore than expected- I’m hoping to get to the barn soon.
It’s frustrating to not be the right hand man. A lot of work out there to do!
Can’t ever get enough of Yoko…
