#OnThisDay in 1923, fashion designer André Courrèges (1923–2016) was born in Pau, France. Courrèges joined the House of Balenciaga in 1949 and opened his own house in 1961. Credited with creating the miniskirt and the go-go style “Courrèges boot,” his trim, futuristic youth fashions embraced pant suits and synthetic materials. His 1973 uniform collection for UTA (Union de Transport Aériens) had a skirt or flared trousers option, a fitted sweater, and a short jacket in imitation leather. The pearlescent pink, powder blue, or red outfits came with white vinyl flat boots. This image was posted on March 09, 2022.
