{"product_id":"vanessa-bruno-skirt-5hva73-v07782-noir","title":"Vanessa Bruno | Structured Pleated Mini Skirt - High-Waisted Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eA skirt that announces itself through the quiet authority of its construction. Vanessa Bruno’s latest offering for SS26 redefines the notion of the classic short skirt, grounding it in a distinctly Parisian sensibility—one that favors precision over pretense. The silhouette is a study in controlled volume: a flared cut that springs from a high-waisted band, anchored by structured, architectural pleats that refuse to collapse into softness. This is not a skirt that whispers; it states its intent with a crisp, deliberate line that frames the leg from mid-thigh, creating a proportion that feels both modern and rigorously edited.\n\nThe fabric—a pure polyester weave chosen for its ability to hold shape without stiffness—offers a surprising tactility. It is smooth to the touch, with a slight resistance that suggests durability, yet it moves with a clean, almost papery rustle that underscores the garment’s structural ambition. There is no give, no slouch; the material is a partner to the cut, not a compromise. This weightlessness in hand translates to a confident drape on the body, where the pleats fall into sharp, repeating folds that catch light and shadow in equal measure.\n\nConstruction is where this piece earns its keep. The high-waisted fit locks the waistline in place, creating a clean foundation that elongates the torso before the skirt releases into its A-line swing. A discreet side or back fastening—invisible to the eye—preserves the unbroken surface of the fabric, allowing the pleats to remain the sole protagonists. The hem stops at mid-thigh, a length that feels deliberate rather than daring, offering a leg line that is graphic without being exhibitionist.\n\nIn movement, the skirt performs. The pleats open and close like a fan, granting a surprising range of motion while maintaining their architectural integrity. This is a piece that works best in motion—walking through a gallery, stepping into a taxi, crossing a boulevard. It demands a certain stride, a certain posture. Style it with a fine-gauge cashmere turtleneck in ivory and a low-block heel for a day that stretches from lunch to late afternoon. Come evening, swap the knit for a silk camisole and a flat metallic sandal, letting the skirt’s black opacity anchor the lightness above. Across seasons, it layers seamlessly under a long wool coat for winter or stands alone against a summer dusk. The final note: let the skirt lead. Everything else is support.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VANESSA BRUNO","offers":[{"title":"NOIR \/ FR-36","offer_id":49158836093083,"sku":"277 5HVA73-V07782","price":1145.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NOIR \/ FR-38","offer_id":49158836125851,"sku":"277 5HVA73-V07782","price":1145.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NOIR \/ FR-40","offer_id":49158836158619,"sku":"277 5HVA73-V07782","price":1145.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/1730\/9339\/files\/V.B-277_5HVA73-V07782-NOIR_01.jpg?v=1785596286","url":"https:\/\/clemenceworld.com\/products\/vanessa-bruno-skirt-5hva73-v07782-noir","provider":"Clémence by rue Madame","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
