Story & heritage
For Spring 2008, Vogue noted Wunderkind’s shift toward seventies bohemianism, including leopard-spot beadwork over ikat prints and a lighthearted balance of chic and whimsy. This skirt is one of the clearest product-level examples of that mood.
The 1stDibs listing connects the skirt to looks 23 and 25 from the Spring/Summer 2008 ready-to-wear runway, worn by Lera Sheremata and Viviane Orth, and describes it as an illustration of Joop’s eclectic taste.
Materials & craft
The listing describes a chiffon skirt made from 97% silk and 3% polyamide, with layered animal prints and a prim-looking flower motif. It was made in Italy and listed in excellent, not previously worn condition.
The construction depends on overlap and transparency: the layered panels break the skirt into moving print fields, so the blue, grey, and animal-patterned sections read differently from every angle.
How to choose & style
Let the skirt be the print event: pair it with a black shell, white shirt, or cropped knit and keep shoes simple. Its uneven layers suit soft tailoring as well as more casual tanks, provided the waist stays clean.
