SS13 Prada Village Full Print Silk Buttoned Vest

SS13 Prada Village Full Print Silk Buttoned Vest

Prada, a corner stone of Italian luxury was founded in 1913 by Mario and Martino Prada as a small leather goods company. Slowly garnering attention throughout the 19th century, a crucial pivot point struck in 1978 when the helm of Prada was passed to Miuccia Prada. Through a natural ability to blend contemporary art and fashion, Miuccia Prada transcended what was once a small Milan boutique into a $5 billion empire. Over years of trial, the designer has perfected the inner and exterior intricacies of a garment - helping to shape our understanding of fashion as a whole. Printing techniques, shapes and foreign design remaining her forte, Prada continues to push the envelope to this day.

Debuting in the Spring 2013 collection, this vest articulates the refined palette Miuccia Prada has garnered. Sitting as the predecessor to the infamous “village” motif, the vest details a cascading skyline in a hue of light blue and white. Printed atop a silk textile, the garment is a testament to contemporary design. In pristine condition, tagged as a size 40 or men’s small.
