Antonio Ciutto/Anybody Got a Match? Inspired Skirt



















Antonio Ciutto is a London based South African designer. His drawings give the general feel of the motion of the human body, with lines drawn where shadows would normally fall. He uses primarily black, white, and grey in his drawings, but his use of color feels pixelated and enhances his more scenic drawings.












































































This skirt also garnered some insight from the films of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Bacall often wore black and white, and when she said her infamous and first line in Hollywood, "Anybody got a match?," she donned an elegant jacket which served as inspiration for this garment. The skirt attempts the sophisticated look of Bacall's costumes in her films with Bogart, as in To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep, while also appealing to the high wasted fashion of today.
