Silver pleated metallic top with a leather and organza skirt

A sleeveless top in silver plissé metallic over a black high-low skirt that alternates bands of leather and organza.

The top is silver metallic plissé, sleeveless, with an asymmetric neckline where two pleated panels cross and a short strap over one shoulder, tucked into the skirt. The skirt is black and high-low: a leather waistband and diagonal bands of leather alternating with bands of organza, the hem rising above the knee at the front and dropping to the floor behind.

An evening look with daylight manners. In a loft with brick walls and steel windows it reads as a studio piece; at night, with a pointed heel, it is a cocktail dress in two parts. Spring and autumn, with the organza as the only breeze. Keep the top tucked and the arms uncovered: the tattoos are the sleeves.

The organza was a dare. The leather is the alibi.

  • Pointed black heel at night; a flat for the loft

  • Arms uncovered
