Summer bottoms and skirts: print, drape and proportion
The Summer Bottoms and Skirts document is built on skirt architecture: tiered, wrap, flared, denim and set logic, with a printed wrap alongside. Its argument is that an all-over print only works when the garment moves, so florals, polka dots and botanicals are matched to drape, flare and proportion.
skirt architecture
Five shapes carry the range: tiered, wrap, flared, denim and set, with a printed wrap as the sixth route. The set logic is what turns a skirt into a capsule.
print and movement
An all-over print only works when the garment moves. Florals, polka dots and botanical prints need drape, flare and proportion behind them, which is why the print decisions and the silhouette decisions are made together rather than in sequence.
Surface work runs to a white embroidered hem, floral in soft drape, a ditsy print, polka dot, rust in wear, and a wrap tie.
from skirt to set
Bottoms can anchor the capsule. The document builds around co-ords, matching prints and fabric continuity, in viscose, rayon, Tencel, cotton schiffli, denim bleach and linen-viscose where verified.
questions this document answers
- Which skirt shapes does ZER0 source?
- Tiered, wrap, flared, denim and set, with a printed wrap alongside, and the set logic used to build a capsule around the bottom rather than around the top.
- What fabrics does the summer bottoms range use?
- Viscose, rayon, Tencel, cotton schiffli, denim bleach and linen-viscose where verified, chosen so that print and movement work together.
