Vintage Petra Fashions Fuchsia Nylon Column Skirt, c. 1970s–80s — Made in USA

A flash of fuchsia with a distinctly vintage point of view. This Petra Fashions skirt is cut from lustrous 100% nylon with a fluid, satin-like sheen that catches the light beautifully. The long, streamlined silhouette is finished with an easy elasticized waist, center back vent, and three horizontal stitched bands at the hem that give the minimal shape an unexpected architectural detail.

Made in the USA and labeled a size Medium, this is the kind of lingerie-influenced vintage piece that slips effortlessly into a modern wardrobe. Pair it with an oversized knit, crisp button-down, or structured blazer and let the color do the work.

Curator’s Note
What makes this one work is the tension: intimate-apparel fabric, unapologetic color, and a clean column silhouette. Petra Fashions’ roots in lingerie and nightwear give the nylon its beautiful liquid drape, while the banded hem makes the piece feel considered rather than basic. Wear it completely out of context—the more modern the styling, the better.
