The Chancellor Skirt is inspired by Angela Merkel.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is no wallflower, named by Forbes as the most powerful woman on the planet for 10 years running she is the longest-serving elected EU Head of State. 

Why she’s no wall flower: “She fought off a national recession during the global economic crisis with stimulus packages and government subsidies for companies that cut hours for workers, and she is in the thick of trying to help Greece revive its economy. She has used her power against ISIS, breaking the post-Nazi-era taboo of direct involvement in military actions by sending arms to Kurdish fighters. In the Russia-Ukraine crisis, she has been engaging in shuttle diplomacy trying to broker a peace deal with Vladimir Putin.”  -- Forbes, 2015.
