Prada Gold Bronze Metallic Crochet Duster Sweater, 2000s

Consistently, Prada designs emit a sense of reserved experimentation. Through the mixture of classic silhouettes and meticulous textile techniques, Prada successfully reinvents timeless design staples into contemporary and stylish pieces. This early 2000s crochet duster sweater is a prime example of this aesthetic.

Masterfully done in a coated wool, the sienna yarns are crocheted together to create a statuesque metallic sweater. Featuring a wide rounded convertible collar, the sweater’s crochet pattern shifts density as it falls to a flared, bell-shaped scalloped hem at calf level. It fits close to the body throughout the torso however is not snug. With long fitted sleeves at two front hip pockets this Prada sweater offers a novel charm that can be worn regardless of the season.
