Valerie Cutout-Waist Midi Pencil Skirt

The semi-detached waistband leading Jacquemus's navy Valerie skirt results in a long horizontal cutout running along the sides and back – a sign of the designer's experimental nature. It's constructed to a midi pencil silhouette featuring a high back slit for ease of movement.

• 80% viscose, 20% linen

Essentially pared back and minimalist, self-taught French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus pairs tradition and modernity with playful irreverence. Classic references meet with unexpected proportions and distinctive details, in collections that are youthful, fresh, yet with a timeless elegance.
