Designer midi skirts for women
Designer knee-length skirts haven't spent much time sitting next to the words ‘fashionable’ or ‘extravagant’. That’s something we plan on correcting today, alongside other perceptive mishaps such as outdated sentiments towards the terms 'mid-length skirt' and 'below-the-knee skirts'. Dolce & Gabbana, for their Spring/Summer collection of 1995 stated, "forget glamour, we call it elegance". Now firstly, this was a collection where a black knee-length skirt featured in almost every look, secondly, Dolce & Gabbana is now famous for its Sicilian-style glamour. One tight knee-length black skirt modeled by Monica Bellucci is not what we call demure, but Mr Gabbana had a point. It was, and still is, very elegant. The point is, the two are not mutually exclusive, elegance does not take away from allure. This, we suppose, is what Stefano was getting at, and possibly what the magic of the 'mid-length skirt' is all about.
The strange mythology of a secretary-inspired, knee-length skirt has caused a whole host of silly gender stereotypes and ideas around practical work attire that have been difficult to shed. No, you won’t look 'dowdy' or accidentally fall into the frustratingly ridiculous role of 'Money Penny' by wearing a designer skirt. Just like all garments we put on our bodies, the fit, the fabric, the cut, the fun, these apply to knee-length skirts just as much, but no more. Feeling attractive and empowered when you get dressed in the morning, is a good line of thought, and just like picking the right pants, a perfectly-fitted, knee-length pencil skirt can give you a boost of confidence.
High expectations for medium lengths
Of course it's not just in the office that a designer midi skirt dominates. High fashion has always had a staple medium hemline between the short, long, micro and floor-sweeping trends. We have noticed lately, that fashion, let’s generalize and say as a whole, is going through a more significant, modest, medium-length moment. Miuccia Prada, being the powerful influence that she is, as well as trend movers like Leandra Medine, are pushing the way we think about fashion, turning tastes on their head and make them more desirable. Miu Miu has only about a million knee length-skirts for next season that we need in our closet. So now that we have clarified the misappropriated ideas around the terminology, we are free to peruse that absolute heaven that is our mid-length skirt section. Starting with one extravagantly soft leather knee-length pencil skirt by Miu Miu, heading towards a sophisticated knee-length skirt by Balmain and finishing indefinitely.
