Prada Fairy Collection Red Blue Plaid Silk Skirt, 2008

A modern take on nymphs and sprites, the Spring 2008 Prada Fairy Collection was created in fantastical colors and a sleek, modern take on the stylish heroines that may spring from a story book. Heralding from this collection, this silk skirt boasts a lively red-orange and blue check, reminiscent of a gingham.

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 version of this skirt can be seen as look #7 from that season’s runway.
