Christian Dior by Marc Bohan 1986aw High-Waisted Velvet Pencil Skirt

$632.00

A black velvet pencil skirt from Christian Dior's Autumn/Winter 1986 collection, designed during Marc Bohan's tenure at the house. As Dior's longest-serving creative director, from 1961 to 1989, Bohan cultivated a vision of elegance defined by restraint, precise construction, and understated femininity. The Autumn/Winter 1986 runway featured a memorable red ensemble with a dramatically raised waist and sculptural pockets, creating a striking contrast between the fitted waistline and the generous volume at the hips.

This skirt echoes that distinctive silhouette in a more understated, wearable form, translating the architectural proportions of the runway design into a classic black pencil skirt. Crafted from black velvet, the skirt features an exceptionally high, structured waistband that extends above the natural waist, creating an elongated, sculpted silhouette. Generously proportioned pockets introduce volume at the hips, contrasting with the narrow, straight cut of the skirt. The velvet's deep, light-absorbing surface lends richness to the otherwise restrained design, while the interplay between the defined waist and sculptural pockets gives the piece a subtle sense of drama. An elegant example of Marc Bohan's approach to tailoring, balancing architectural structure with classical femininity.
