Belted wrap skirt in wool gabardine
Céline • Resort 2018
-
An approach of using parts of a whole to fashion an entirely new garment seems to motivate the thinking behind this wool gabardine skirt from Céline’s Resort 2018 collection.
In essence this piece appears to be the bottom half of a trench coat – especially resembling ones made by Mackintosh for the British Army in the early 1950s – cut up and turned into a skirt.
Familiar features of these macs are carried over: large twin flap pockets, a long belt with a leather-wrapped buckle (along with the buttoned latch on the center back to prevent the belt from shifting), and the signature light khaki color.
The high-waisted skirt closes askew on the front, and secured by snap buttons on the interior waist. The gabardine is interfaced with smooth black fusible to provide structure while retaining a lightweight quality.
