About the Item
What makes this product unique or special?
Emporio Armani transforms the classic pleated skirt into a modern minimalist piece. Four razor-sharp knife pleats are hidden behind smooth panels, so the skirt appears perfectly sleek when you stand still, then bursts open in motion to reveal fluid movement. The effect delivers the swing of a fully pleated skirt without adding bulk at the waist—an early-2000s Armani innovation now hard to find.
Why is it worth the proposed price?
Cut from a dense Italian wool blend dyed in midnight blue, fully lined in silky viscose and finished with a 6 cm satin-faced waistband, invisible side zip and interior button. Comparable contemporary skirts sell well above $400; authentic vintage Emporio Armani pieces in this size and condition are increasingly rare.
How would you describe the item (and its condition) to someone who hasn’t seen it?
Midi length A-line that falls just below the knee. Smooth waistband sits slightly below natural waist; four deep pleated godets—two front, two back—open from thigh to hem. Fabric is deep midnight blue; surface matte; pleats still crisp. Lining immaculate, no pulls or shine; zip runs cleanly. Condition: excellent vintage.
What is its story?
Made in Italy around 2000, when Emporio Armani experimented with architectural volume while preserving the house’s restrained aesthetic. The concealed-pleat concept appeared on several runway looks of the period and reflects Giorgio Armani’s belief that true luxury lies in subtraction, not excess.
Key details a potential buyer should know
• Fabric: wool-blend shell; viscose lining; satin waistband.
• Labels: Emporio Armani main label + Antinea SRL production tag (see photos).
• Fastening: invisible side zip + interior button.
• Pleats: knife pleats pressed and stitched 18 cm from hem to hold shape.
Flat measurements (garment laid flat)
• Waist 48 cm • Hip 65 cm • Total length 57 cm
→ Fits an ultra-petite frame, approx. IT 44 / EU 44 / Please compare with a skirt that fits you.
Versatile styling: tuck in a silk blouse and add slingbacks for the office, or pair with a cropped knit and boots for off-duty polish. A rare, minimalist take on the pleated skirt that moves beautifully in every step.
