Prada Holiday & Brown Green Pink Print Bra Skirt Set, 2003

A trademark of Prada’s collections is to expect the unexpected. Always contributing a twist to her runways, the Fall 2003 show was no exception. Showcasing boxy and dull tones that at first glance seem drab, Prada ups the ante with layered garments underneath in bold colors and patterns that were created in collaboration with Holliday & Brown. From that collection, this bra and skirt set is made from a durable silk twill with a floral print in celadon, peach, and light pink on a black ground.

The bra cups are triangular in shape and fit promptly around the bust and frame the décolletage with the narrow straps and a V-neckline. On the skirt, the larger panels of fabric allow for the textile design to be appreciated full scale. The repetition of the motif and the pleating allow for an entrancing visual. Fitting at the natural waist with a black grosgrain waistband, the skirt contours the body to the hipline and flares gently into a slight A-line at knee level. As seen as look 9 on the runway, this ensemble can be paired with a jacket to balance the vibrant print or worn alone.
