About the Item:

Look 8 from Prada's Fall/Winter 2006 collection, worn on the runway by Freja Beha Erichsen, this striking black and olive dress exemplifies Miuccia Prada's unconventional approach to femininity. Alexandra discovered it on The RealReal, where she felt its significance had been overlooked. “Nobody knew what it was,” she recalls. The design pairs a structured, molded-cup bustier with wide shoulder straps and a dramatically pleated olive taffeta skirt, finished with an asymmetrical black panel. On the runway, the skirt was styled ruched up, while here it falls into a more relaxed silhouette. “I love the juxtaposition of the technical fabric, which is very Prada, with this super feminine silhouette at the top,” Alexandra explains. Although she doesn't associate the dress with a particular occasion, she was immediately drawn to its unusual construction. “It's really flattering on,” she adds.

About the Label:

Founded in Milan in 1913 by Mario Prada, the house began as a purveyor of luxury leather goods and travel accessories. His granddaughter Miuccia Prada took over the family business in 1978, transforming it into one of fashion’s most influential labels. After introducing the now-iconic nylon accessories in the 1980s, she launched Prada’s first ready-to-wear collection in 1988. Known for her intellectual and often subversive approach to design, Miuccia has continually challenged conventional ideas of beauty and luxury, juxtaposing retro silhouettes with unconventional fabrics, unexpected colors, and deliberately awkward proportions. Since 2020, she has shared creative direction of the house with Raf Simons.
