Eckhaus Latta has always thrived on contradiction: raw knits paired with sequins, awkward proportions turned elegant, and everyday fabrics twisted into experimental silhouettes. Their Fall/Winter 2021 collection took that ethos into quilting, a craft material reimagined as conceptual outerwear and sculptural separates.
This black quilted pencil skirt embodies that tension. The high waist and long slit are softened and complicated by a removable quilted panel that disrupts its minimal line. It’s both severe and playful, proof of Eckhaus Latta’s ability to turn imperfection into a statement. In the story of American fashion, this skirt sits squarely in the brand’s legacy of reshaping what “downtown” can mean.
