Prada Fairy Collection Printed Flared Runway Pants, 2008

Larger than life volumes, whimsical colors, and mysterious combinations of the two is the stuff fantasies are made of.Prada, in their Spring 2008 collection brought together these elements to portray a modern fairy tale story. Referencing iconic flared pants of the 1970s, these crisp, silk organza pants incorporate a dizzying geometric weave in shades of pomegranate, buff, and black.

In addition to the pattern in the weave, fabric manipulation and proportions intensify the warping of the textile. Flap pockets on the front and back blend in seamlessly with the print while down each back leg seaming and darting work to contour the pant and warp the pattern. Just below the knee and flare into an ankle length bell bottom with the weighted towards the back. This unusual proportion make the pants intensify the visual undulations of the print by mapping them onto the body through form.
