Mame Kurogouchi | “MISHIMA KARATSU” Floral Pattern Jacquard Draped Skirt．grey

The “Mishima Karatsu” Floral Jacquard Draped Skirt from Mame Kurogouchi combines traditional Japanese artistry with modern design. Inspired by Mishima Karatsu pottery, this skirt features a lightweight jacquard fabric made from a high twist polyester and rayon blend. The fabric has a slight sheer quality, yet remains durable and cool to the touch with a soft texture. Diagonal tucks at the waist create a flattering silhouette, and the side slit enhances freedom of movement. The elasticized back waist ensures easy wear and fits various body types, making it versatile for both casual and elegant styles.

The Mame Kurogouchi 2024 Fall/Winter collection “Fragments,” continues the theme from the previous season, delving into the 16th-century Old Karatsu ceramics* of Saga Prefecture*. Designer Maiko Kurogouchi incorporates the natural colors, rich textures, and unique patterns of Karatsu ware into “wearable ceramics.” The collection is predominantly grey, symbolizing a journey through time, with some designs featuring the intricate jacquard patterns inspired by Mishima Karatsu, adding layered visual depth.
