Prada Fairy James Jean Green Print Silk Skirt, 2008

Continuing the fanciful story of the Prada 2008 collection, a whimsical watercolor touch exemplifies the mood of the fairy collection. With a motif designed by Taiwanese artist, James Jean, this Prada skirt carries with it a demure, magical aura.

The skirt, made from a light chartreuse green silk organza, features Jean’s depiction of fairies serenely amongst flowers with a cityscape in the distance. A high yoke accentuates and tightens at the waist as it moves into the fullness of the skirt.

The waistline gathers form a slight bubbling as the skirt travels over the hips and moves into a series of horizontal pleats that create a visual illusion with the skirt print. Ending at just about knee level, this skirt is a youthful and flirty style that is an effortless way to dress up a simple tee or tank. A long version of this skirt can be seen as look #45 from that season’s runway.
