A rare and quietly dramatic Jean Muir metallic leather pencil skirt from the later years of the house, most likely dating to the early 2000s period. At first glance the leather reads as a deep bronze metallic, but in certain lights the surface reveals rich undertones of dark aubergine and purple, giving the piece a beautifully unusual oil-slick effect that shifts as you move.
Cut in a classic pencil silhouette, the skirt sits cleanly against the body before opening into a striking oversized side slit that adds movement and just the right amount of edge. The leather itself has that signature Jean Muir balance of structure and softness, substantial enough to hold its shape while still feeling supple and luxurious to wear. Fully lined for comfort, it fastens with a concealed zip at the back for a sleek finish.
This is the sort of piece that could easily move from day to evening. Wear it with a simple black knit and boots during the daytime or lean into the metallic finish with sharp tailoring, heels and oversized jewellery after dark. A subtle but very special Jean Muir design that feels both minimalist and quietly futuristic.
