Skirts

Oscar de la Renta cuts the pencil skirt to a precise line, in a double-face wool that is smooth on both faces and dense enough to hold its own shape. The seams sit flat and the hem falls at mid-calf, with no lining needed underneath. Blush keeps the tailoring soft.

Johanna Ortiz gathers a spray of hand-drawn flowers low on one side of the hem, poppies and hibiscus in red and blush rising on slender olive stems. The skirt is cut from silk in a soft A-line and finished at the waist with a narrow velvet band. Above the flowers the black is left plain, so the print carries the piece.

A skirt crafted in silk crepe de chine, printed with a tonal botanical motif inspired by a nocturnal garden. The silhouette is defined by soft draping through the front, creating fluid movement and dimension. Designed to be styled with tops from the collection or layered with textured outerwear.

Oscar de la Renta works the Klos skirt in a ribbed virgin wool knit, flaring gently from a smooth waistband to below the knee. Silver bead embroidery climbs from the hem in sprays of flowers and leaves, denser at the base and thinning towards the hip. On the melange grey ground, the beading reads soft and slightly antique.

Balmain's tailoring instincts carry into knitwear here: a bouclé tweed knitted in cream, with a fine gold thread running through the weave. Two domed gold buttons sit above welt pockets at the hip, and the waistband and hem are left frayed rather than bound. The skirt ends high on the thigh and holds a straight line from the waist.

A midi skirt cut on the bias in a silk twill with a floral print. The print combines texture and subtle reflections across the silk ground. The bias cut opens wide at the flared hem and keeps the drape fluid. A side invisible zip with a logo-engraved metal puller closes the skirt, lined in crepe de chine to the knee under a bound waistband.

Agnona lets the cloth carry the decoration. This straight midi skirt is cut from a wool organza in near-black ebony, its surface scattered with tonal cloqué blooms and threaded all over with fine bronze beading. The waistband sits high and plain, so the light comes off the surface alone.

Agnona knits this skirt from a cocoon cashmere and silk bouclé, cut in an A-line flare with an elasticated waistband. The yarn is flecked dark brown through cream, dense enough to hold the panelled flare without weight. It falls to mid-calf, the hem left plain so the texture carries the line.

Agnona treats print as texture rather than pattern. An animal marking is worked here in smoke brown and black over a blush ground, then pressed into fine sunburst pleats that break the image as the skirt moves. A plain dark waistband holds it flat at the top and lets the hem do the work.

Blumarine cuts this skirt from crisp black taffeta, gathered at the waist into a full bubble that turns under at the hem. A wide sash of the same cloth wraps the waistband and knots at the hip into a large, loose bow, its tails falling past the hemline. All the volume sits below a flat, fitted waist.

Midi skirt in Italian virgin wool ottoman, slightly A-line, with a prominent box pleat at the front. An invisible zip closes it on the left side, and it is fully lined.

Cut from Italian-woven, speckled wool, this tailored midi skirt showcases a structured silhouette with embellished floral threadwork. At the back, a dropped pleat panel in textured satin lends a unique contrast.

A micro-houndstooth print and accordion pleating lend this sheer chiffon skirt its mesmerising movement and dimension. We designed it with an elasticised waist for slip-on ease.

Fringes and eyelets worked into an asymmetric wrap, in a double-faced cloth that shows finished on both sides. The cashmere in the blend takes the scratch out of the wool without loosening the hang. Black, so the eyelets read as texture rather than decoration.
