SS99 Prada Caramel Leather Embossed Chest Rig Backpack
Miuccia Prada’s Spring 1999 Ready-to-wear collection was a technical play on sports wear and hippie fashion - in utmost contradiction. Spoken best by Prada herself, “the entire collection was an ironic comment on the current trend for hippie fashions... My collection included all the cliché’s of hippie fashions such as mirrors and flowers, but totally destroyed them at the same time - it was the least hippie collection imaginable.” Prada used side bags, unconventional luggage such as chest rigs and backpacks, high rise shorts and low cut tapered tops to pay homage yet utterly contrast bohemian culture. High cut dresses walked the runway alongside utility satchels, while Prada showcased her expertise in design. The designer successfully interpreted either aesthetic and blended each into one of her own, proving great strength in her visionary ability. Although irregular, the collection was concise, well demonstrated and received well, bringing new silhouettes to the face of attention.
The most notorious profile from the Spring 99’ collection has been distilled to the chest rig shown. Originally released in a canvas textile, the leather iteration is far more scare due to it’s full caramel exterior and metallic accenting. Subtle branding and the coveted boxy design can be worn as either a backpack or rig due to the adjustable strap on the underside as well. In phenomenal condition throughout with little to no visible use.
