PRADA Resort 2019 Vintage Crystal Embellished Brocade Cocktail Evening Dress NWT Size XS

A striking vintage Prada cocktail dress from the Resort 2019 collection, new and unworn with original tags. Runway looks from the collection featured similar fabrics and the characteristic ruffled details that were among the collection's defining design elements. The dress is crafted from an elaborate deep midnight blue and black cloqué lurex fabric with a raised floral pattern and a glamorous metallic sheen. The silhouette is suspended from delicate shoulder straps and falls to just above the knee. A structured ruffle at the empire waist and another at the hem echo one of the key motifs seen throughout the collection. The bodice is lavishly embellished with large beads and prong-set crystals in shades of blue, black, and clear crystal. These substantial embellishments give the dress noticeable weight and create a striking contrast against the textured fabric. Crystal-embellished pieces such as this are among Prada's most intricate and labour-intensive designs, reflecting the house's longstanding fascination with bold decorative elements and richly textured surfaces. The dress closes at the back with a zip and snap fastening. Main fabric: 38% polyester, 37% acetate, 10% silk, 9% metallic fibres, 6% polyamide. Embellishments: glass, metal, and synthetic materials.
