About the Item
What makes it unique or special?armani hides four razor-sharp knife pleats behind smooth panels, so the skirt looks perfectly minimal when you stand still, then fans open only in movement for a sudden flare. You get the swing of a fully pleated skirt without any bulk at the waist-quintessential early-2000s Armani engineering.
Why is it worth the asking price?tailored in dense Italian wool blended with technical fibers that hold the pleats permanently. A 6 cm satin-faced waistband, invisible side zipper with interior button and full viscose lining give it the clean, luxury finish expected from Emporio Armani. Comparable contemporary skirts retail well above $400; vintage examples in this condition are increasingly scarce.
How would you describe it (and its condition) to someone who can't see it?a-line silhouette that hits just below the knee. Satin waist sits slightly below natural waist; four deep pleated godets-two front, two back-open from thigh to hem. Fabric is jet-black and matte; pleats crisp. Lining pristine, no pulls or shine; zipper runs smoothly. Condition: excellent vintage.
Story / provenance Designed in the early 2000s, a period when Emporio Armani explored architectural volume while maintaining the house's signature restraint. The "hidden pleat" idea came straight from runway looks of that era and captures Giorgio Armani's belief that true luxury is knowing what to remove, not what to add.
Key details the buyer should know
• Fabric Wool blend shell; viscose lining; satin waistband.
• Labels Emporio Armani main label + Antinea SRL production tag (see photos).
• Fastening Invisible side zipper + internal button.
• Pleats Knife pleats pressed and stitched 18 cm from hem for permanent shape.
Flat measurements (garment laid flat)
• Waist 48 cm • Hip 65 cm • Total length 57 cm
These numbers translate roughly to an IT 44 / EU 44 ; please compare with a well-fitting skirt to confirm fit.
Versatile styling: pair with a tucked silk blouse and slingbacks for the office, or a cropped knit and off-duty ankle boots. A modern-minimal take on the pleated skirt that moves beautifully and never goes out of style.
