About the skirt

Gucci’s pleated checked midi skirt first made waves on the label’s Resort 2019 runway. A timeless yet fashion-forward piece, the skirt is crafted in Italy from luxurious wool twill in a striking black, burgundy, and beige check.

Designed to sit at the natural waist, its sharply pressed pleats create an elegant A-line silhouette with beautiful movement.
