Milan Revives the Swinging Sixties with a Stroll Down Carnaby StreetCarnaby Street is being re-born on the catwalks of Milan Fashion Week.
Mini skirts, Chelsea boots, platform shoes and psychedelic prints are the order of the day as Milanese designers embrace the once-famed Swinging London of the 1960s.
Forty years after Mary Quant fired the first broadside in the hemlines war, the thigh-high skirt is re-emerging as the look for spring/summer 2007.
With long hair ironed flat or caught in simple ponytails, the models are striding out on the catwalks, long greyhound legs flashing under thigh-high hemlines as a 21st century reincarnation of the King's Road "dolly birds" who once helped make London the world headquarters of the Sixties youthquake.

The Twiggy-style A-line dress, stopping short a few inches south of the derriere, was the key shape.
