HEICHI

並置 (Japanese) - juxtaposition, placing side by side

The weight and drape of silk yarn give this playful skirt great versatility as the unusual texture creates a nice dense fabric with more coverage. Flirty semi-sheer dropped stitch patterning adorning the hem of this high and low shaped skirt provides great fluidity and movement of the garment. Feminine yet modern. Asymmetric with minimalistic lines and pragmatically incorporated short-row shaping, this skirt requires minimal finishing. Designed to be efficient for most body types, just turn it with the long hem running along your side to provide a different great look for the same knit!
