A love letter to her hometown, this mini skirt is part of a collection where fashion designer Paolina Russo pays tribute to and draws inspiration from her suburban upbringing in Markham, Ontario. She grew up playing sports and then went on to sculpting as a Fine Art student before developing a love for fashion.​ ​ Her story comes to life in this mini skirt that has sporty aesthetics with an avant-garde twist. Russo's use of the checkered pattern and stripes sculpts your body when you wear it, giving it a flattering shape.​ ​ Pair it with the jacket from this collection for maximum impact or with a simple white tee and long socks for a bold, effortless look.
