The contradiction in this skirt is load-bearing. The waistband is fitted and formal -- belt loops, a side zip that closes with precision, a high rise that anchors the piece firmly against the body. Below that anchor point, 47% polyester, 40% cotton, and 13% silk have been crushed into a permanent irregular texture that does not read as structure at all. The silk content gives the raised surface a faint sheen that catches light at the fold points of each crush; the cotton and polyester underneath give the fabric enough body to hold the wide-leg silhouette open rather than collapsing inward. The result is volume that moves independently of the wearer -- the wide leg swings on its own axis, the crushed surface catching and releasing light with each step.
Two side slit pockets break the exterior without interrupting the surface -- the slits are cut into the crushed field and the fabric continues uninterrupted around them. Nostra Santissima uses this kind of disciplined restraint consistently: functional details that serve their purpose without announcing themselves, so the material treatment remains the primary language of the piece. The high waist and wide-leg proportion create a silhouette that reads equally as tailored when worn with a close-fitting top or as a volumetric statement when paired with the brand's own oversized jackets.
