noir kei ninomiya Pleated Layered Shirt Dress – Black

This Pleated Layered Shirt Dress by noir kei ninomiya takes the familiar black shirt dress and shifts the proportions in a much more unexpected direction. The upper half is clean and tailored, with a pointed collar, short sleeves, front button fastening and chest pocket, before the silhouette changes completely at the waist.

Below, the construction becomes layered and architectural. A longer shirt-like panel sits over a pleated skirt, creating a trompe-l’œil effect that plays with the idea of separate garments while remaining one piece. Belt loops and the buttoned waist detail add another tailored reference, while the pleats introduce movement and volume beneath the straighter upper layer.

Made from 100% polyester, the fabric has enough structure to hold the shape while still allowing the layers and pleats to move. From the front it feels sharp and graphic; from the side and back, the different lengths and volumes become much more visible.

Wear it on its own, layer it over trousers or a longer skirt, or treat it almost like a long shirt. It is the kind of noir kei ninomiya piece that gives you several ways in — the construction is precise, but what you do with it is completely open.
