"I'm totally unconcerned with skirt lengths.
They are not the issue. […] Life isn't pretty.
Clothes can't be pretty little things. They must
be bold… strong, we have to take this terrible
world and make fun of it with fun clothes,
functional clothes."

Gernreich, Rudi, in: Women's World,
Los Angeles Examiner, Los Angeles, 1966
