Prada Red White Lips Print Mini Dress Resort, 2012

When it comes to textile design, Prada consistently brings a new level of creativity or interest to the table. The miniscule details in the many prints set forth by Prada have a grand impact on the mood of the styles and collection. Prada’s Resort 2012 collection harkens back to a midcentury, 1960s aesthetic combined with elements of surrealism.

This dress is made from a lightweight rayon crepe printed with a realistic lip motif. The contrast of the red lips on the white ground give the dress a retro feel. A soft neckline and the flutter cap sleeves set the tone for this dress. The short length paralleled with the accented waist provided by the attached belt allow for a classic aura of femininity.

Pleats radiate from the scoop neckline on the back in historical English style rounding out the look. A dress with such classic elements makes for the perfect summer casual-chic look that can be paired with flirty or edgy accessories.
