About the Item
This skirt originates from Ann Demeulemeester’s Fall/Winter 1996–1997 collection, a pivotal season in which the designer further refined her exploration of asymmetry, elongation, and the tension between severity and sensuality. Executed in black wool with fine pinstripe striping, the garment was presented on the runway and exemplifies the collection’s emphasis on linear construction and restrained intervention.
The silhouette is deliberately elongated and columnar, extending to near-ankle length. A diagonal zipper, inserted from the waist and terminating into a controlled front slit, functions simultaneously as closure, articulation, and conceptual focal point. The zipper introduces a subtle disruption to the otherwise continuous verticality of the form, allowing the wearer to modulate movement and exposure—an approach consistent with Demeulemeester’s mid-1990s investigations into garment autonomy and performativity.
The vertical pinstripes reinforce the garment’s linear logic, accentuating length and emphasizing the body as an architectural axis rather than a sculptural volume. Construction is notably restrained, with minimal seam interruption and precise pattern alignment, foregrounding material integrity and proportion over decorative excess.
Produced in Belgium in 100% wool, this piece represents an exemplary instance of Ann Demeulemeester’s mid-1990s design language, situated at the intersection of tailoring, poetic austerity, and conceptual rigor. As a documented runway garment, it holds particular relevance within the designer’s early institutional canon.
