Black Wool Blend Pleated Midi Skirt

An essential study in proportion and purity, this black pleated midi skirt reflects the restrained rigor of early-2000s Celine. Cut from a structured wool-blend suiting fabric, the silhouette falls in crisp, uninterrupted pleats that create gentle movement without sacrificing line. The mid-rise waistband sits cleanly at the waist, while the midi length underscores the house’s preference for understated elongation and quiet elegance.

This is the kind of piece that defined Celine’s pre-Phoebe vocabulary: intelligent, urbane, and free of ornamentation. It pairs seamlessly with tailored shirting, fine-gauge knits, or the era’s signature minimal outerwear — a versatile foundation for a wardrobe built on clarity and craft.
