Slighly flared skirt introduced in the early 1960s. In silhouette it appears like the letter A.
FDF, 1988
Context:
The ’70s was the heyday of “separates” dressing and the A-line skirt continued to flourish. Saint Laurent did his own front-button version in 1974 and just about everybody else, including Dior, Anne Klein and Missoni, had a crack at this now-classic silhouette.
