Leather Slit Midi Skirt
Overview
This ALAIA Leather Slit Midi Skirt is a structured, high-end wardrobe piece that blends couture tailoring with wearable design. Cut from grained Italian calf leather and assembled in a paneled construction, it creates a sculpted A-line shape that falls below the knee while a center slit preserves ease of movement. The low waist and hidden zip keep the silhouette sleek, and front seam pockets add discreet utility without breaking the line. Lined in cupro for comfortable wear against the skin, this skirt suits someone building a refined capsule wardrobe who wants a durable, season-spanning piece that transitions from office presentations to evening dinners.
