Prada Spring 2000 Beige Semi Sheer Silk Lip Embellished Skirt Runway Look #55

The Prada S/S 2000 collection can be read as a take of early 20th century feminism, the collection having drawn inspiration from classics like Chanel and Schiaparelli. Blending the semi-professional silhouettes and earthy tones of smart attire, Prada also introduced shocking sheer elements and quite literal tongue-in-cheek prints that send a message of power-dressing and subtle sexuality.

This skirt is a major, collector's piece from, one of the most sought-after Prada collections ever and beautifully described in the book Waist Down: Skirts by Miuccia Prada.

"This porcelain-white chiffon skirt is trimmed with a black chiffon sash that ties to the left side of the waist. And those delicate black marks seemingly gouged into the surface? Believe it or not, those are miniature clockwork gears and tubes, alternating with purple lip appliques at regular rhythmic intervals. Reminiscent of the strange encounters between the disparate in surrealist poetry, the expert tailoring somehow echos the precision of machine parts. An 'impossible' combination this is very prada."

The fabric is a beautiful delicate double-layer silk chiffon with scalloped edges and slits on either side.

In excellent condition, this skirt has been cleansed with obsidian and sage to ensure that you are welcoming a bright new energy into your home and has also been professionally eco-dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and yourself.
