Crisp white peplum shirt over draped black asymmetric midi skirt

A schoolroom-plain white shirt gains a peplum flare and an askew collar, while the black skirt twists into a draped, uneven hem: uniform codes quietly deconstructed.

  • Tabi · Japan · East Asia2 looks

    Home tradition

    “White leather shoes appear to show a split between big toe and other toes, the defining tabi form, reworked as a sneaker-like shoe; the split is only partly visible.”

The character of the clothes

pillings's clothes were lighter, more muted, smoother and more casual than most of the season.
