AW17 Prada ‘Striped’ Loose Gauge Tonal Mohair Knitted Sweater

While fashion is often an expression of maximalism, Miuccia Prada has always stayed true to wearable design. Her Fall 2017 collection was no different, exploring the subtleties of everyday life through tones and nature. Muting the baggage of extravagance, Prada aimed to go “from bigness to smallness” through elevated yet simplistic design, focusing on “More human, more simple, more real” perspectives. From that, came an abundance of beautifully illustrated knitwear, draping overcoats, and chic hits of delicate fur. The runway, ever so concise, retained the core ethos of Prada’s masterful design, strategically placing hits of vibrant colours among fall hues. In all, the collection sits among the upper echelon of the designer’s portfolio, regularly applauded for such depthful understanding of palette and wearability.

 

Debuting in the Autumn of 2017, this sweater exemplifies Miuccia Prada’s incredibly refined design philosophies. Choosing a loose gauge mohair textile as a base, she leverages a variety of tonal, brown hues to create a horizontal striping pattern. Dropping the shoulders, collar and torso, the sweater sits loosely atop the wearer’s body, making for a gorgeous, draping silhouette. Tagged as a size 48 or medium, the sweater is in pristine condition throughout.
