The classic pleated skirt gets a modern makeover this season.
Accordion pleats provide freedom and mobility, particularly on mid-length, full-shaped skirts as they expand when you move.
Thanks to designers such as Issey Miyake, the present-day idea of creating pleats has become easier, with his ground-breaking approach to pleating techniques seen in his Pleats Please collection of 1993.
Today, the pleated skirt is a great addition to a working wardrobe and works well for some added drama at after-five and formal events.
