Instructions for stepping onto a pedestal

From a more structured cut to an unstructured line, with one certainty: the ultimate feminine silhouette owes its charm to the ‘column’ skirt. With a graceful length, easily paired with flat shoes, and sexy with heels, the column skirt favours neutral tones and the versatility of black. There is not a brand that does not present it as a seasonal classic: Max Mara crafts it in a beige cashmere knit wrap style, while for spring-summer, the house offers it in chocolate brown, matched with a cropped jacket and flat sandals. Rick Owens presents a true, ultra-long and form-fitting pillar skirt, irresistible in its coated denim version available in various colours. The Row opts for classic black, and so does Dorothee Schumacher, who chooses silk to soften and add movement to the hemline.
