Product Description:
A distinctive asymmetric pleated mini skirt from Vivienne Westwood Red Label, crafted in classic black wool with subtle pinstripe detailing. This piece exemplifies Westwood’s signature tailoring disruption — blending traditional British suiting codes with deconstructed, sculptural movement.
The silhouette features structured pleating at the waist that falls into irregular draped panels, creating volume and architectural dimension. One side extends into a layered asymmetric fold, giving the skirt dynamic movement and a rebellious edge. The refined pinstripe pattern references classic menswear tailoring, while the dramatic construction subverts it entirely — a hallmark of Westwood’s design philosophy.
Fully lined in smooth cupro for comfort and structure retention, the piece maintains a crisp shape while remaining fluid in motion. The high-waisted cut enhances proportion, making it ideal for pairing with fitted tops, sheer layering pieces, or tailored jackets.
Vivienne Westwood Red Label is known for merging punk heritage with refined craftsmanship, and this skirt embodies that tension perfectly — polished yet provocative, classic yet unmistakably subversive.
A collectible archival staple for those who appreciate directional tailoring and iconic British design legacy.
