Mini Skirt in Merino Wool

The tailored mini in Archive I's column dresses board was understood as a formal proposition — not casual, not incidental, but a deliberate decision about where the leg begins and what it means for the garment to end there. The merino wool mini skirt carries that understanding. The navy and red plaid woven through the cloth places it within the collection's plaid stripe clash logic: the check as a shared structural language, present here in its most precise woven form.

The embroidery scattered across the surface — small worked motifs placed at intervals across the plaid ground — draws from the Egungun masquerade costumes in the Archive I reference material, in which embellishment accumulated across an already complete object. Here the accumulation is restrained: individual marks on a structured ground, each one placed rather than covering. The embellishment does not compete with the check. It adds a layer of information.

Clean waistband. Fully lined in silk. Straight cut.
