LA HAINE INSIDE US W5418 Asymmetric Skirt - Black Stretch Faux Leather Flounce Front Opening Women’s
A Dark Surface. A Sweeping Line. Deliberate Asymmetry.
The W5418 women’s asymmetric skirt by LA HAINE INSIDE US turns black faux leather into a study in proportion. A smooth waist gives way to a broad cascading flounce, with a high front opening and a longer sweep at the sides and back. Its restrained sheen traces the folds, bringing Italian avant-garde design into a striking evening silhouette.
Why This Skirt Is Different
- Asymmetric outline: A shorter front section contrasts with the long surrounding panels, unlike standard straight-hem skirts.
- Cascading flounce: A broad volant falls from the curved panel seam rather than forming rows of small frills.
- Front opening: The raised edge reveals the leg and frames tall boots.
- Smooth waistband: A clean upper line keeps the attention on the skirt’s changing proportions.
- Curved construction: A diagonal seam connects the upper section to the flared lower panel.
- Back zip: The rear closure leaves the front free of fastening hardware.
- Black faux leather: Soft highlights reveal the surface and folds without a printed pattern.
- Listed stretch fabric: The existing product data identifies stretch faux leather; no quantified stretch or recovery rating is supplied.
- Long rear sweep: The back presents a quieter, elongated contrast to the open front.

The Moment You Put It On
Begin with a simple black top and the shape does the rest. The waist stays visually clean while the broad flounce draws a line down the front, shifting from a short reveal to a longer sweep.
From behind, the skirt becomes almost another piece: long panels, a subtle flare and reflections that follow the folds. It is a strong foundation for an evening look that relies on cut and texture rather than colour.
The Art of Faux Leather
The listed polyester and polyurethane composition identifies this as faux leather rather than animal hide. The smooth leather-look surface catches light across the flounce, making the asymmetric cut visible even in an all-black outfit. Fibre percentages alone do not establish breathability, weight, crease resistance or durability, and no such performance rating is supplied.
The Art of the Cascading Flounce
The volant is a broad, falling panel with a curved attachment line. Its uneven edge creates the skirt’s changing lengths and gives the front a sculptural outline. Unlike a plain A-line skirt, the W5418 places its main visual detail at the open front while keeping the back comparatively restrained.
How to Wear It
- Statement evening: Pair with a fitted black top and tall pointed boots to frame the front opening.
- Texture contrast: Add a matte cotton top or soft grey knit against the smooth faux leather.
- Short layers: Choose a cropped jacket that leaves the waist and curved panel seam visible.
- Tonal black: Combine sheer sleeves, an opaque top and dark footwear, keeping accessories minimal.
Care Instructions
Follow the sewn-in care label. Avoid direct ironing and high heat on the polyurethane surface, and protect the flounce from sharp edges or rough contact. The earlier listing advises damp-cloth cleaning, no machine washing or immersion, no tumble drying or bleach, and hanging storage; confirm these instructions against the label before cleaning. Keep it away from prolonged contact with light-coloured fabrics as a precaution against possible colour transfer.
