About the Item

Naples-born designer Alessandro Dell’Acqua made his mark of the fashion scene in 1996 in Milan. Dell’Acqua’s design style can be described as tailored yet charmingly eccentric with a casual element. One of his earliest collections, Dell’Acqua’s FW 1998 collection, explores color and opacity using high-gloss satins and black sheer tulles arranged in a variety of volumes for added effect. Along those lines, this overlay skirt is made from a fine black tulle mesh and embroidered throughout with gunmetal beads and sequins arranged in a floral motif. The skirt sits low on the waist and falls just below the knee with the beading and sequins creating soft undulations in the otherwise straight silhouette. This skirt would be an excellent laying piece that can elevate any plain pencil skirt into a classy and elegant new look. The silk tulle mesh has a little stretch to it. In excellent condition, it closes at the side with a keyhole and waistband button. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself. Size: 40 Measurements: Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 38 inches Length: 29 inches Size Estimate: Small

Dries Van Noten Sheer Silk Printed Pleated Skirt, Runway 2008
By Dries van Noten
Located in Boca Raton, FL
A remarkable talent of 21st century design, Dries Van Noten quickly captivated the world of fashion with his equally wearable and conceptual garments. Opening his Paris boutique in 2007 and then recognized by CFDA in 2008, Van Noten’s Fall 2008 collection stands as a monument to the designer’s growing acclaim. Implementing his signature abstract florals and unique color stories, the collection gave a psychedelic ethnic mood that is encompassed in this pleated, sheer, silk skirt. Sitting promptly at the waist with an austere black waist band, the delicate skirt is a sensory explosion of colors featuring tones of yellow ochre, mauve, red, and blue-green. The print rhythmically moves with the pleats slightly accentuating the hips as it moves into the dynamic, calf-length handkerchief hem. A vintage aura adds a particular charm to the seemingly futuristic print...

Jean Paul Gaultier Blush Crinkle Silk Chiffon Rib Knit Yoke Skirt, 2000s
By Jean Paul Gaultier
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Jean Paul Gaultier’s designs always have a particular erotic drama to them. From his cone-bra corset designed for Madonna, Gaultier tends to create garments that convey an apocalyptic, deconstructionist aesthetic. Gaultier has a number of lines ranging from haute couture to childrenswear. His unapologetic styles dash his clothing with a hint of avant-garde but is what makes him so popular amongst bold celebrities such as Rihanna and Gaga. Reflective of Gaultier’s signature aesthetic this ca. 2000 skirt is made from a combination of blush rib-knit cotton and a faded pink, silk crinkle chiffon. The rib-knit forms the skirt yoke to which the chiffon is attached in jagged arches at hip level. A warped waistline questions the finesse of the dress that is contrasted by the chandelier draping of the skirts handkerchief hem which is finished by the chiffon being tied into knots. This Gaultier design is eerie as it conveys a delicate yet distressed sentiment. Size estimate: S Measurements: Waist: 27 inches Hips: 36 inches Length: 33 inches to 44 inches at the bottom of the knot. This cotton knit, and silk chiffon skirt is fitted throughout the hip and releases into a bohemian fluidity. It is unlined and rests at hip level and the waistline is lined with an elastic to stabilize the knit and to secure the skirt to the body. The skirt can be slipped over the head or simply stepped into. Professionally cleaned and pressed, this JPG skirt...
