Séances De Travail Segmented Skirt Trousers

Sharply draped black skirt trousers informed by the stripped-back severity of 1990s minimalism — where luxury became quiet, intellectual, and deliberately restrained. Sitting against a framework of segmented split-leg panels, the design draws from the same tension between utility and precision that defined Helmut Lang’s era of “corporate austerity”: sharp tailoring, monochrome discipline, and anti-excess dressing.

Corporate austerity refers to the designer’s pioneering 1990s approach to fashion, which stripped away 1980s excess in favour of minimalist, utilitarian, and intellectually severe designs. This "anti-fashion" movement, characterised by high-tech fabrics, sharp tailoring, and a monochromatic palette, redefined luxury as something intellectual and "serious".

Layered front panels create the illusion of a skirt suspended over elongated trouser legs, fracturing the silhouette into something unresolved between formalwear and industrial uniform. Finished with low-slung double belt detailing and clean architectural lines, the piece carries a sense of post-industrial restraint — severe, functional, and built through structure and definition.
