Product Insights
The Vivienne Westwood Crotch 45 Striped Miniskirt twists classic pinstripes with punk provocation: the Orb button (debuting 1986) and 'crotch' naming signal rebellion, while a high-waisted, straight-cut fit in breathable cotton-polyamide-spandex (85 CFM) with stretch recovery and anti-static lining ensures comfort and shape retention; the 16.5-inch hem and hidden side zip preserve stripe continuity, balancing audacious design with tailored ease.
