Akira never disappoints when it comes to statement pieces, and the Maeve Mini Skirt in Olive is proof of that. The moment I saw this skirt, I knew it had potential, but I also saw an opportunity to make it uniquely mine.
The military-inspired olive color is absolutely gorgeous and versatile enough to pair with everything from bodysuits to sweaters. I love the structured design, oversized pockets, button details, and built-in belt—they give the skirt a modern utility feel while still looking feminine and fashion-forward.
One thing I love about fashion is making a piece my own, so I used a tagging gun to create an asymmetrical drape on one side. That simple alteration completely transformed the silhouette into something that looked custom-made and editorial. It added movement, edge, and a high-fashion element that had people stopping me throughout the event to ask where I got it and compliment the look.
I styled it with a fitted black top, black tights, and open-toe ankle booties, and the olive color became the perfect statement piece. It was comfortable enough to wear while standing in line at a meet-and-greet, walking around, and taking pictures, yet it still looked polished from every angle.
What I appreciate most about this skirt is its versatility. You can wear it exactly as designed for a chic utility look, or if you're like me and enjoy thinking outside the box, it's an incredible canvas for creating something completely original.
