The Sutton Mixed-Media Pleated Mini

The Sutton Mixed-Media Pleated Mini

Designed for the woman who demands the ease of a dress with the architectural appeal of separates, the Sutton Mini is a study in modern deconstruction. The bodice is crafted from a smoothing, matte knit that contours the torso, featuring an avant-garde asymmetrical neckline with a draped sleeve. This fluid darkness contrasts sharply with the structured, charcoal pinstripe skirt, which utilizes crisp pleating to evoke a tailored, academic aesthetic.

Design Notes

• Structure/Fit: True to size with a fitted, high-stretch bodice that anchors the silhouette; the skirt sits at the high hip with a relaxed, A-line release.
• Fabric: A dual-texture design pairing a cool-touch Rayon/Nylon knit bodice with a structured Cotton-blend suiting skirt.
• Detail: Features a dramatic asymmetrical neckline with a twisted strap detail and a classic knife-pleat skirt for tailored movement.

How to Style

• The Academic: Lean into the preppy undertones by pairing with chunky loafers and white ankle socks for a curated "dark academia" look.
• City Sleek: Transition to evening by swapping loafers for knee-high black leather boots and adding a silver cuff to echo the cool tones of the pinstripe.
