Think of Mary Quant's scandalously short miniskirts and shift dresses, which came to symbolize '60s youth culture, or the S&M-inspired outfits that Vivienne Westwood began selling at the King's Road shop Let It Rock in 1971, just as London was getting its first taste of punk.

The miniskirts and Crayola colors of the 1960s, the power shoulders of the '80s, the minimalism of the '90s — all reached critical mass well into the midpoint of those eras, when whatever had been bubbling up in wardrobes and on sidewalks found its reflection in the wider world.

After joining the cast of Modern Family (it premiered in 2009) Winter — who claimed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published in September that Chrisoula dressed her in "low-cut things" and "the smallest miniskirts" starting at just age 7 — sought out her on-set teacher Sharon Sacks for help.

He was known at the time as the "Le Corbusier of Couture" — and had introduced a mod look of A-line miniskirts, peg pants and boxy jackets that combined what he learned during his decade as the assistant to Cristóbal Balenciaga and his love of all things futuristic, sporty and utilitarian.

Miniskirts dangling with what looked like garter belts turned out to be inverted scuba suit tops (often worn with tanks splashed with the "Jaws" promo picture), washed with Impressionist florals or cafe-society leopard print, which were also used as aprons/cummerbunds that wrapped the hips of both men and women.

She offered up bright Hawaiian prints in sporty nylon married to shearling in boxy jackets and miniskirts; pastel quilted shorts and trousers reminiscent of blankets you snuggle under in the evening; swim shorts and tops worn under basket-weave leather dresses to let the air flow through; and shower curtain slipdresses.

The confident, sexy collection she sent down the runway last fall — full of '70s citrus and earth tones, easy prairie dresses in micro floral prints, sharply tailored A-line miniskirts and denim, and insouciant, heavy-metal combat boots — revealed Ramsay-Levi's deep understanding (and personal mastery) of French cool-girl chic.

With ASOS' newest stash of whimsical dresses, miniskirts, tops, and jeans at their disposal, they created cool, party-ready looks that not only highlighted their individual styles and figures but also showed us that this popular trim doesn't have to be super fancy (or all up in your face) to make a statement.

Why the line also included a new capsule of reissued designs from the mid-'80s and '90s (thick ribbed sweaters with nipped-in waists; blouson backs and matching miniskirts; malleable shearling jackets with embroideries up the sides) that wore their date on their tags, because if they didn't, you'd never know when they were made.

A giant, floor-to-ceiling set of speakers set the booming tunes for the smoldering male and female models, who appeared in everything from semi-sheer bell-bottom pants and miniskirts with diamante-studded Versus-logo bikini bottoms peeking through, to studded and silver-fringed cowboy boots and black and red Western-style jackets.

And it was embedded in a collection otherwise largely familiar (and full of comfortable continuity): long bouclé coats lined by rows of diamanté and pearl buttons; miniskirts and sparkly cocktail dresses paired with cropped puff-shoulder bomber jackets; high-collar white shirts and tuxedo bib velvets; an evening section of simple silver screen-era silks and satin slithers.

It's telling that his national security adviser, H.R.

There's something entirely personal about its weird juxtapositions and connections, even as the results have become more sophisticated: high-waist acid-washed denim jeans with pockets placed back to front; irregular patchwork knits and slithery magenta nylon; cropped triangular jackets over shrunken pleated miniskirts; and juicy orange and blue sheaths with space age-y oval cutouts at the clavicle.

So the oversize gold safety pins of fashion legend came not just on a slinky black gown slit up to here and sliced down to there, more asymmetric and twisty than the original, but also on nipped-in black jackets, holding together seams on the back and shoulders and paired with cropped mohair sweaters (stomachs were a prime erogenous zone) and black miniskirts.

In high school, we would spend some of our evenings at youth group, where we sang about Jesus, and others going to teen night at a Houston club, driving into the thicket of liquor stores and strip clubs a mile up on Westheimer, entering a dark room where the girls wore miniskirts and everyone sought amnesty in a different way.

And it cast a different light — both brighter and more nuanced — over the Dior show, with its walls (and floor) papered with torn magazine covers from the late '60s collaged with slogans, including "women's rights are human rights" and "I am a woman" and "miniskirts forever," one that gave the show a resonance it might not have otherwise had, and also revealed its shortcomings.

The collection itself was something of a long-haul journey, with more than 200 looks, including urban daywear (diaphanous parkas, slouchy slacks, relaxed knits), elegant suiting, eye-popping nightclub neons (chartreuse yellow or hot pink biker jackets, miniskirts and hot pants, and sequins by the truckload), and a finale of Emporio-branded bustier dresses, sheer blazers and blouses, scattered with the letters and finished with tassels.

The ability to mix unexpected ingredients into a compelling whole is something of a Prada signature, and it was as true for the collection as it was for the audience: long, narrow silk chiffon skirts were belted at the hips under plain black T-shirt sweaters; polo shirts paired with ruffled leather miniskirts or transformed into empire-waist gowns; brocade trouser suits with knit '70s tees.

To better understand him as a radical explorer of fashion's tropes as stealth instruments of activism, consider his matching 1970s miniskirts for men and women, his unisex cat suit or the military-looking "Kent State Ensemble" that is included in the Boston exhibition while his braless bathing suit and infamous breast-baring "monokini" — for a time the most notorious article of clothing on the planet — mysteriously are not.

And I discovered that after over four decades of believing long skirts represented women's antiliberation, acres of material that impeded progress, of choosing to get married in a short dress and wearing short dresses to the Met Gala (twice) and cheering whenever celebrities wore miniskirts to awards shows as a declaration of independence, I had acquired over the past six months not just one ankle-length skirt, but two dresses with handkerchief hems that likewise reach my feet.

It knows that having a show with women dressed up as come-hither Scottish lassies on loan from Rob Roy's fantasies in teeny tiny panties, over-the-knee argyle socks, push-up plaid bras and pleated tartan miniskirts during the same week that more than 100 female politicians from around the world gathered in the House of Commons in Britain to commemorate women's suffrage, and the same week that an unprecedented number of women of all races and ages and sizes was elected to Congress was perhaps not the best timing.

That may not seem like a big thing, but abandoning the jacket, even in 2017, is a striking choice on a professional podium, one that aligns Ms. Sanders more with the sartorial camp of Ivanka Trump and Kellyanne Conway than with her predecessors: Dee Dee Myers, a press secretary during the Clinton administration who was known for her miniskirts and bright jackets, and Ms. Perino, who tended toward Chanel-esque suiting (or even the fictional press secretary C. J. Cregg on "The West Wing," whom the costume designer Lyn Paolo dressed in Calvin Klein and Armani suits).

Sunset has, historically, been a good time for the two men, wherever they have arrived, for at sunset we are all still together: the women are only just back from the desert, or the farms, or the city offices, or the icy mountains, the children are playing in dust near the chickens or in the communal garden outside the towering apartment block, the boys are lying in the shade of cashew trees, seeking relief from the terrible heat—if they are not in a far colder country, tagging the underside of a railway bridge—and, most important, perhaps, the teen-age girls are out in front of their huts or houses, wearing their jeans or their saris or their veils or their Lycra miniskirts, cleaning or preparing food or grinding meat or texting on their phones.
