1980s Daniel Pages Paris Crimson Skirt Suit

A deep V-neck, collarless skirt suit that leaves a lasting impression.

A defining example of the minimalist tailoring that shaped the late 1980s, its sculptural wrap-front jacket, softly shaped skirt and understated elegance create a refined,  feminine silhouette that feels just as contemporary today.

Designed by Daniel Pages in late-1980s Paris, this beautifully tailored crimson suit is finished in a richly textured fabric with understated gold-toned fastening that brings quiet sophistication.

Style it as a complete ensemble when elegance calls, whether for the Goodwood Revival, a wedding, a gallery opening or an elegant dinner. You can also enjoy the versatility of each piece separately. The jacket pairs beautifully with tailored trousers or denim and heels, while the skirt works effortlessly with a crisp white shirt, fine knitwear or minimalist trainers for a contemporary look.

With the Daniel Pages label disappearing in the early 1990s, these beautifully tailored creations have become increasingly difficult to find.
Beautifully preserved, this  ensemble offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of French tailoring that remains as relevant today as it was first created.
