The Business Insider Hemline Index rose to 26.7% after the New York Fashion Week, concluded last month.
Analysts say that the Hemline index rises when the Hemline gets shorter. 80% of the designers showcased shorter skirt lengths and dresses.
Another research had postulated that the economic growth is inversely proportional to the hemline length and vice versa. It means that the hemline length grow shorter when the economy rises.
What’s the co-relation?
Let’s roll back & peep in to the Stone-Age era and the laws of attraction then.
Women preferred stronger men with muscular strength to partner with. The reason was security of self and the offspring and proliferation of dominant genes to the next generation. Women attracted stronger men by exposing the hips and the breasts in distinct ways. That became an art and the science of attraction which were then translated in to Laws (eg. Kama Sutra). These laws define the sexual behavior of men and women today.
If applied to the modern world; women, by default, seek security from men which in turn come from power and money, which again are co-related. Shorter Hemlines are again designed to attract men and women choose these men on the basis of their wealth and the socio-economic status to gain.
More the money in the market, more the availability of such men, thus shorter the Hemlines.
Does this really describe how the Hemlines are adapted and evolved down the ages? A topic to be researched more…….
