-
Part of Prada’s transgressive Spring/Summer 1996 show, now widely dubbed “ugly chic”, this sleeveless shift dress showcases the collection’s oddly-colored tweed motifs.
Made in light cotton-linen tweed, the dress is overprinted with a brown crosshatch pattern throughout that echoes the weave of the fabric itself.
