The Squid Ink Pleated Skirt is an asymmetric pleated skirt with a spiked hemline, created from stitching two pleated skirts together. It features an abstract splash-like print resembling spilled squid ink. What if Africa were the birthplace of couture? This was the central question for our collaborative product story with Thebe Magugu, INTERSECTION. As the birthplace of Alber and Thebe, Africa is a foundational starting point for both designers and holds key aspects of luxury, such as generational craft and storytelling as core elements of its culture. For this product story, Thebe juxtaposes nu-Africa aesthetics with the notable principles of couture: classic garments are reinvented in smart fabrics, bold prints and modern, versatile silhouettes to create new hybrid shapes, intended for all women. - High-waisted - Belt loops - Spiked hemline - Length: 74-110 cm
