Why it's worth it
Black beadwork on black silk-wool — invisible until the room notices.
The Edit
An asymmetric diagonal hem drops from hip to mid-thigh on a silk-wool belt skirt that fastens with concealed metal snaps rather than a waistband. Hand-applied beadwork — a floral constellation from a collaboration with artist Kriste Stan — sits at the hip, tonal against the black ground until light catches it. Worn over the straight-leg trousers shown here, the overskirt geometry reads as a single architectural piece.
Insider Tip
The snaps mean it sits flush over tailored trousers with no waistband bulk.
