How to Style the Mala Skirt in Black by Body Type
- Rectangle: Define your waist with a belt, a wrap silhouette, and bias cuts to introduce shape. The Mala Skirt in Black in Black works well layered over a fitted base for added structure.
- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the fabric skim rather than cling.
- Tall: Column silhouettes and unbroken vertical lines elongate beautifully. Vertical seaming here enhances height without overpowering proportion.
- Petite: Look for high-waisted cuts, midi lengths, and refined shoulder lines. The structured proportions of the Mala Skirt in Black help balance shorter frames.

Cecilie Bahnsen at a Glance
Cecilie Bahnsen trained at the Royal Danish Academy and took an MA at the Royal College of Art in London. She worked at John Galliano as a print designer and first-line assistant, then as a design assistant at Erdem, before opening her own studio in Copenhagen in 2015. She won the DANSK Design Talent Award in 2016 and reached the LVMH Prize final in 2017. The house is best known for its matelassé and broderie anglaise dresses and for their volume. It has also become a regular choice for brides who do not want a conventional gown, a shift CNN reported on in August 2025.
Pieces are designed in Copenhagen and made in Europe. Sizing runs on the UK ladder from 4 to 18 on the main collection, with knitwear and jersey on a letter ladder from XXS to XXL. The house cut runs true to size; full per-size garment measurements sit in the size guide on this page. Many of the surfaces are quilted and embroidered, so specialist dry cleaning is the safe default. Individual care instructions are listed on each product page.
