Piccolo omaggio nostalgico a quei minuscoli pantaloncini

a quegli stivali e stivaletti ed alle improbabili acconciature

. . . a quelle lunghe gambe affusolate degli anni 70 .

US 70's - Jo Ann Pflug ( M*A*S*H ) UK 1971 - The New Seekers Hot pants was very brief tight shorts worn by women as an outer garment .

Categorized as " short shorts ", hot pants commonly have an inseam length of 2 inches (50 mm) or less . These are short, tight shorts, usually made of cotton, nylon, or some other common material . They are meant to emphasize the buttocks and the legs . Hot-pants were launched by fashion designer Mary Quant during the " Swinging London " scene of the mid-1960s , and they were very popular up to the early 1970s.

If a person cuts off the legs of a pair of jeans, that's known as a " cut-off " . The character Daisy Duke from TV series " The Dukes of Hazzard " was known for wearing low cut blue jeans . Her popularity led to the term " Daisy Dukes " being used for short shorts . Jorts ( from 'jean shorts' ) is another name for denim shorts , typically cut longer than Daisy Dukes ( mid-thigh for women and at the knee for men ).

Nati nel corso degli anni settanta, coprono dal bacino a qualche centimetro al di sotto dell'inguine, mettendo particolarmente in evidenza cosce e sedere . I modelli più comuni sono realizzati in tela denim, ma esistono versioni in cotone, nylon, pelle e fibre sintetiche. La moda degli hot pants scemò alla fine degli anni 70, per poi ritornare in auge sul finire degli anni novanta .

Grande successo ebbe in quegli anni Catherine Bach nel ruolo di Daisy Duke nella serie di telefilm " Hazard " , inguainata spesso in aderentissimi e cortissimi shorts .

Nel 1973, in Italia destò particolare scandalo e fu accusata di blasfemia una campagna pubblicitaria realizzata da Oliviero Toscani . La pubblicità infatti abbinava all'immagine di un paio di hot pants ( visti da dietro, quindi con il fondoschiena in evidenza ) la frase " Chi mi ama mi segua ".

She was both the main female protagonist and the sex symbol on Dukes of Hazzard . Bach appeared numerous times wearing tight and short denim shorts, which later became colloquially known as " Daisy Dukes " . The network censors believed that Daisy's famous cut-off shorts alone would be too revealing. The shorts were so short that the only way the producers could get them on air was for Catherine Bach to wear flesh-colored pantyhose with them to ensure that the shorts revealed no more of her than intended . Bach herself had concerns about the shorts saying she could not wear them in the restaurant scene . The producers' answer was for her to visit the restaurant across the street; Bach found the waitresses there were wearing "little miniskirts that matched the tablecloths !". Bach made many of Daisy's costumes herself, especially the early ones, including the red bikini in the first episode, seen during the show's opening credits . At the suggestion of the show's producers, Bach posed as Daisy Duke for a poster, which sold 5 million copies.
