Prada Silk Cable Knit Blue Black Printed Cut Out Dress Runway Fall 2010

Fashion is about revision and remixing just as much as it is about novelty and innovation. Season after season, Prada consistently captures both of these key elements. By accentuating the feminine form with reimagined designs of what is classically pretty, the Prada 2010 collection not only reinterpreted silhouettes but also were designed with various body types in mind.

Done in a printed silk satin, this dress features a stellar ink blue cable knit print interspersed with black hash marks on a white ground. The bodice of the dress features a plunging U-shape cutout that has been bordered in a solid black fabric. Across the bust, rows of ruched silk have been added to a white and burgundy beaded trim and black gothic lace trim at the neckline.

From the waist, the skirt accentuates the hips and flares to a pleated hemline ending just above the knee. This dress blurs the lines between flirty and professional offering a unique design that makes for an excellent cocktail or party dress. It can be seen as look #43 from that season’s runway.
