Ekin Maxi Skirt

This floor-sweeping skirt in lightweight challis relies on the fluid, liquid drape of viscose to follow the body’s natural contours before flaring out at the hem. The graphic impact comes from a high-contrast mix of oversized and micro polka dots, creating a sense of movement in the paneling that feels like a nod to nineties minimalism. Because the fabric is semi-sheer and unlined, it works best layered over tonal underpinnings for a clean, intentional silhouette.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is constructed from 100% viscose, a chemically processed semi-synthetic fiber that requires intensive solvent use, including carbon disulfide, during production. The semi-sheer, lightweight nature of the challis weave offers minimal thermal regulation, and the material lacks the biocompatibility found in organic or closed-loop fibers.
