Symbole parmi d’autres de la libération de la femme et de la génération yéyé, la jupette venue d’Angleterre, qu’elle soit à 60, 70 ou 80 cm du sol, suscite étonnement, indignation, envie ou commentaires grivois. Ainsi dévoilée, la gambette fera scandale « cachez ce genou que je ne saurais voir ..» mais sera promptement réhabilitée par la Haute-couture.
