Prada Brown Leather Shorts, 2009

In an almost post-apocalyptic style, the Fall 2009 Prada collection was all about rough-and-tumble textures with a no-nonsense linearity. Marked by neutral tones and pops of red, Prada showcased an earthy color story that has a well accomplished fierceness.

Done in a tobacco leather, these high-waisted shorts have a dart detail, with eight on the front and 8 on the back. This gives these shorts an almost armor-like volume. Finishing at the thigh, these shorts are cut asymmetrically forming a shallow V-shape from center front to the hip. Seen on the runway in a boiled wool variation (looks #5 and #24), these shorts can be worn alone or layered over a pair of legging for an edgy aesthetic.
