The Milla Top fitted skirt • 9'' mid-rise riding pant

• 9'' mid-rise riding pant with fitted legging design

Today's version is super authentic with the same fit and pattern

I absolutely fell for the fit and style and knew it had to be integrated into the collection

I developed it from scratch with one of my textile mills and industry friends

I had a top that was coming off of the sewing machine and found it was too small

The Milla Top fitted skirt • 9'' mid-rise riding pantA NOTE FROM MICHELE This design happened by mistake during a collection I was developing in '91. I had a top that was coming off of the sewing machine and found it was too small, looking extremely tiny and unwearable. I didn't want to lose a sample that was costing me both time and effort, so I tried to cut into the sleeve and see if I could still keep it for my personal wardrobe. While I was cutting the sleeve, I stopped halfway through the design
