Model Jamaal Jarmon showcases the numerous pleats and incredible movement of this design, inspired by a historical Chinese garment from the Song Dynasty called a baidequn, meaning ‘100-pleat skirt.’
The smooth panels at the end of the wrap-style skirt are made from a deep blue and silver silk jacquard that calls to mind both the depth and shine of flowing water.
Model Luke Brawthen displays the incredible flare from eight inverted box pleats on this medieval-inspired eight-gore skirt.
This look features American smocking, a hand sewing technique that involves gathering numerous small points across a grid to create a raised texture of alternating squares and diamonds.
