Dertig












Extremely wide and short balloon skirt with giant decorative bow. An amazing work by AnnySchoo (US), inspired by examples of formal European male clothing dating back to the 16th and 17th century.

AnnySchoo about her work: The hardest part of making this skirt was calculating the pleats. They could only be hand sewn to stitch such thickness of pleated fabric with stiff belt on. The huge bow gives the skirt a very extraordinary look.

Wrap pants
by Maria Lucia Squillari (Alba, Italy)

Lucia Squillari about her work: I invented these pants to create a manly skirt. Paul liked a long black wrap skirt I had made, so I thought I'd make "wrap pants", based on the same principle. In fact they work and look like two wrap skirts, attached together in the middle, one wrapping each leg. A sash is attached to the front, and one to the back, with long ties protruding. To wear the pants the sahshes protruding from the left side should be crossed and tied on the right side, and vice versa.
