Inspired by the silhouette of Christian Dior's 1950's " new look" ,  our Silk Faille Skirt is a true collectors piece. Richly embroidered with tendrils of oxidized metallic beadwork and tonal threadwork that can only be fully appreciated when  seen in the flesh, this piece traverses day to night,  summer to winter. A  skirt that embodies the glamour of the past yet is  cool and contemporary also.  Pleats cinch the waist to create a silhouette that is flattering for most.  Wear it with a simple white silk camisole in the summer and slide or team it back with a boot and chunky knit for the winter months, this piece is as versatile as it is collectable. Dynamic,  robust and with tailoring with an edge,  describe this truly unique piece.
