The Dries Skirt
12 years ago by
Ok, so what do you think about the Dries half-skirt?
We love the drama of it, and thought the whole collection was beautiful, but we’ve been talking about how well the half-skirt could translate from the runway to real life…
But maybe that’s not the point. Fashion Week should push the limits of reality and inspire us to be more creative in the way we envision our style, so maybe practicality (and reality) isn’t really the point??

To me it’s more of a leg cape than anything, seeing as you’d have to wear something under it. Interesting & unique. I’m intrigued.

I love this whole collection and if I could get my hands on any of the pieces I would find a way to make them work. I think the half skirt is so fun and modern but has a classic and elegant feel to it. Oh the brocade!
love this collection!

I love this! It could totally work for a fancy occasion or work attire. If the half-skirt is less “full” it would definitely be less runway. I mean, it’s almost like a backwards apron!
Maybe I’m a little prejudged because Dries is also dutch but I love his collections. xx

J’adore cette idee!
i do think the point of Fashion Week is to push the limits/boundaries. as with art, high fashion is all about the reach…don’t ya think?
These half-skirts look like jackets tied over the hips. I think midi-length ones can be translated to the real life.
But even better it will look for evening.

When I was a little girl, if I was hot and wearing a sweater, my mum used to tie it around my waist by the sleeves. The sweater would hang down my back, and the final effect was just this one. So, my mum invented this! (just kidding….)
I think it might be a clever and fun way to reinvent all those boring black pencil skirts we all have…just add a colourful demi-jupe and you’re good to go!
It’s maybe just a smidge too stylistically adjacent to that time in 1989 when Demi Moore designed her own Oscar’s dress for my taste.
Hm, I have already seen this type of skirt today at Asos. Seems like:”Why not? Wanna try it myself”)))
