The Milla Top fitted skirt • Made from velvetA 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
