Prada Tan Lace Skirt Fall 2008 Runway

Lace is a remarkably traditional craft and fabric that has been a staple of couture for centuries. Typically seen as a quintessentially docile and feminine textile, in 2008, Prada of course took the opportunity to reimagine the power of lace into something modern and powerful. As seen as look #19 on that season's runway with a matching lace top, this skirt is an incredible example of Prada’s craftsmanship.

Made entirely from a decadent tan floral lace, this skirt exudes an effortless sophistication. The skirt sits lower on the hips and falls a few inches above the knee in a subtle fit-flare silhouette. The transparent nature of the lace is sensual and alluring without being overtly sexy, and can easily be worn with a silk or chiffon slip underneath.
