S/S 2000 Iconic Prada Heart Print Silk Skirt Rare and Collectable

It’s easy to fall for hearts, especially these ones designed by Miuccia Prada. They dot a cream background like spots on a wild animal’s coat, forming a signature print that is both adorably sweet and incredibly seductive. Appearing on the spring/summer 2000 runway (and in the season’s ad campaign), Prada considered them part of her “ABC of fashion”—and it’s no surprise they still look unbelievably alluring nearly two decades later.

This piece showcases the rich red beauties on two layers of lightweight silk mesh tailored together to create a ladylike drop-waisted skirt. The fitted yoke meets a gathered bottom, which falls below the knees into a dramatic sweeping hemline. Take a styling cue from Prada and mix and match the print with another, or pair it with a white, maroon or tan basic.
