A full length style in an ivory cotton/silk blend with a subtle damask texture, this late 90's Dries Van Noten skirt is constructed with a wrap front that folds over and ties at the side. The fold-over waistband creates an adjustable fit and a layered line across the hips. Defined at the waist, the silhouette falls into a full, voluminous skirt with soft movement through the hem. The cotton-silk fabric has a lightly crushed finish that offsets the formality of the shape and gives the piece a more relaxed surface.
The construction and proportion closely align with Dries van Noten’s late 1990's period, particularly the S/S 1999 collection, where wrap elements, adjustable waists, and floor-length volume formed a central part of the design language. The ivory tone and sculptural romanticism of the form lend the piece a ceremonial quality, making it a strong option for an unconventional bridal look.
Made in Belgium.
