Description: This is a rare, vintage Autumn/Winter 1985 rib knit, knee length black skirt from Jean-Paul Gaultier Pour Equator. It has a fairly straight silhouette and is highly decorated with hand-tied tassels, fringe braided gimp and bands of velvet. Closure is with a Lampo zipper that runs the whole length of the front of the skirt, which completely opens it up. It is unlined. There are two patch style pockets on front, sewn into the side seams and incorporated into the rib, so they appear flat and seamless. They are 10 inches long and approximately 5-6 inches wide. Gaultier's signature tab is sewn onto the back. Made in Italy and manufactured by knitwear specialists Fuzzi. Fabric and care: 100% virgin wool; dry clean only Labeled as a women's Italian size 44, please note the measurements taken flat, one side only. Also note that this is a rib knit, so it has some stretch: Waist: 13 1/2 inches - fairly straight and very gradually widens to the hemHem: 17 inchesLength: 23 inches (gimp to gimp) not counting tasselsThe decorative tassels are 2 inches longThe braided gimp is 1/2 inchThe fringe is 2 1/2 inches longThe velvet bands are 1 inch wide In very nice condition.
