Fashionable Ease. Skirts have made their big come-back after the pandemic via the introduction of revenge minis within the last seasons. This fashion week has further developed the category, pushing the mini in a micro universe and enhancing more timeless and evening-inspired silhouettes as new staples for the day. The midi silhouette is essential now with 822 looks and +12%. The sleek outline and versatile length have turned the item into a fashionable core piece. For SS23, waistlines explore lowered versions (low rise skirts +176%) for the midi to enhance the modern look and acknowledge a trending detail. But beside the rather clean column silhouette, more dynamism is returning to the skirt. An array of cascading skirts, from frills to asymmetry and trains, to mermaid silhouettes or gathered styles, a feminine Venus effect is grasping the latest core pieces. Apart from that, the cargo is inspiring a new street-appeal and enhances the necessary Y2K notion, while it is pushed to an extreme via parachute or baloon interpretations. As for details, the idea of undressing is still resonating fondly. From layering-effects, cut-outs around the waists and super seductive slits to almost-falling off effects via folds or low waistlines, women dare to play with their sensuality and proudly flaunt the piece that is so distinctly one of their own.
