I saw plenty of my college cohorts in patchwork maxis and long, tiered,
crushed velvet skirts in the mid-90s, too, and thought nothing of it.
This knee length
skirt that can tie at the bottom features a side vent detail and an uneven hem, with a
crushed velvet fabric throughout, in a elastic waist closure, matching a cropped top or blouse, can wear it wherever, whenever.
So, during a morning well spent, drinking coffee, eating toast and searching the net for inspiration and ebay for vintage Miyake and Gucci, I've come across some gems on the high street too, including a Gold lurex midi from Zara and Topshop's «Awkward Length Trousers» that come in versatile black, silver (like my friend's pair) and pink
crushed velvet folds; Freepeople is having a pleat-fest with dresses,
skirts, trousers, blouses and scrunchies and more; and Mango's elegant and voluminous extra long chiffon pleated pants are just screaming out for a chunky sweater and silver slippers for Christmas day!
