A beautifully constructed dark navy silk mini skirt from the John Galliano era at Dior, designed with that kind of subtle asymmetry and movement that defined his most refined ready-to-wear pieces.
At first glance, it looks like a simple A-line skirt but the craftsmanship reveals itself in the details. The panels are worked asymmetrically, with some softly pleated and others falling smooth and straight. Even the back is cut differently on each side, creating a quietly architectural silhouette that shifts with every step. It’s an understated piece that shows just how thoughtful Galliano’s Dior tailoring really was.
Made in Italy from 100% silk, both outer and lining, the skirt feels weightless yet structured. Two glossy buttons (one with Dior embossing) at the waist complete the look with subtle house code elegance.
Styling tip: Let the shape do the talking. Pair it with a minimal tee or tank and vintage loafers for an easy everyday look. The dark navy works beautifully with chocolate brown, charcoal or ivory. I also love it paired back to black for a sophisticated look.
