Seen as Look 1 and again in Look 7 of the Paco Rabanne Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear runway presentation, this exceptional velvet maxi skirt embodies the romantic, bohemian spirit that defined Julien Dossena’s celebrated collection.
Crafted in France from a luxurious silk-blend velvet, the design features an exuberant multicolor floral print set against a deep black background. A fitted yoke gives way to softly gathered panels that create beautiful movement and fluidity, while a row of sparkling crystal flower buttons at the back references the house’s longstanding fascination with jewelry-inspired details.
The print was a key motif throughout the Fall 2019 collection and appeared across multiple runway looks, including coordinating tailoring pieces such as trousers and a blazer. Introduced in the opening look of the show, this skirt represents one of the collection’s most recognizable and iconic designs.
Elegant yet effortless, it pairs beautifully with chunky knits and boots for daytime or with a silk camisole and heels for evening.

Style Note
