AW17 Prada Zebra Striped Virgin Wool 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.

 

Blending effortlessly with the tropes of the Autumn 2017 collection, this sweater features monochromatic zebra striping throughout. Composed of a virgin wool textile, the contrasting tones are meticulously woven and accented by a ribbed collar and sleeve hems. The boxy cut is complimented by exaggerated sleeves, fitting a size medium in great condition throughout.
