The Wrap Pleated Skirt
Cupro 60% / Cotton 40%
Original Textile: Rust Landscape
Rust Landscape
A weathered wall, its surface slowly changing with time, covered in layers of rust.
Look a little closer, and countless colours and shapes begin to emerge, inviting a quiet dialogue with the patterns.
Like holding on to the colours and beautiful memories discovered along a journey.
A pleated skirt made from a cupro-cotton blend, developed in collaboration with a specialised pleating studio whose techniques allow pleats to be applied to natural-fibre fabrics, a process traditionally considered possible only with polyester.
The irregular vertical pleats, gathered by hand, combined with a distinctive crinkle-washed texture, create beautiful layers of light and shadow across the fabric.
The versatile design can also be worn pulled up over the bust, creating a strapless, dress-like silhouette.
The dye-like appearance of the textile is expressed through our original print design. Titled Rust Landscape, its generously scaled motif creates a look that feels bold and expressive, yet surprisingly easy to style.

A Note from the Designer
One of the special pieces of this season, this pleated skirt features our original textile, Rust Landscape.
The combination of an organic pattern and organic pleats has given birth to a new expression, bringing a beautiful sense of movement and depth to the fabric.
While it has a beautifully expressive and elegant appearance, one of the lovely discoveries after its completion was just how effortlessly it can be styled with everyday clothing.
From spring through autumn, I imagine pairing it with simple T-shirts, sweatshirts and other casual pieces.
From autumn through spring, it would also be lovely styled with a turtleneck or an oversized knit.
A special piece that can be enjoyed in many different ways, depending on the season and your mood.
