Multifolds

Featuring (left to right, top to bottom): Fannie, Marie, Yoh Thai, Shan, Zoe, Ankita

Gone are the days where pleats were relegated to stifling school uniforms. Today, this schoolgirl signature is a pretty common sight: from the catwalk, to the red carpet, to the CBD and Orchard Road, pleats are making a comeback — and it looks like they’re here to stay. Whether it’s knife, accordion, or crystal pleats, these delicate folds have a pleasing three-dimensional quality that an A-line mini or pencil skirt just can’t claim. They add an instant bounce into each step; if you’re going for more striking, colourful variations, pair them with neat and uncluttered tops instead and let the pleats shine. Regardless of style or your fold of choice, this upgraded classic is sure to please.
