Fall 2003 Runway Ostrich Print Prada Leather Coat
About
This was Look 30 in the Fall Prada collection and was only produced in limited numbers and was wait listed worldwide that season. Style dot com said of this collection:
When the going gets tough, no one can cut an argument for great design with as much substance, conviction and richness of intelligence as Miuccia Prada. Using an unlikely mix of potentially dowdy British tweeds and men’s shirting, bright, lustrous William Morris prints, humble lining silks and deluxe furs and skins, she performed sheer alchemy to create a vision of high chic for hard times.....
Part of this collection’s genius is that it has continuity and ingenuity: all the hallmarks of Miuccia Prada's talent are on show. Take the way she has of ordaining the peculiar as newly desirable. This season it’s Willam Morris–by–way–of–Liberty flower prints, used as formfitting knee-length dresses, shirts and a deerstalker hat. Or her way of letting the uptight formality out of eveningwear with form-skimming dresses in unpressed lining silks or crinkled georgette, shown with fabric neck pieces (a continuation of Spring’s beaded jewelry). Visually and intellectually, this is a collection that hit the high notes. Post-show, Prada explained her endeavor to be “a desperate search for beauty as we wait for war.” Bad times or no, it's fashion guaranteed to make women desperate to shop.
The one I have here is not only a great wearable size but was never worn so looks like it stepped out of a time capsule. It is made of a soft colored leather and is finished to look like an Ostrich skin. The leather is so soft it has an almost suede feel and look to it. The cut is classic Prada with that over-sized feel and loose and easy cut. It has no front closures but was worn belted with a thick leather belt that feels like you borrowed it form your boyfriends closet. It was intended to be layered and used as a style statement with its very simplicity being the design detail needed. It is an amazing piece that feels as fresh and cutting edge now as it did the day in walked the runway. Excellent, unworn condition.
Fully lined in a white silk satin. No closures but has its original belt as seen. Tagged a Prada 42 and meant to be worn slightly over-sized
