Part of Prada’s transgressive Spring/Summer 1996 show (now widely dubbed the “ugly chic” collection) is this short dress cut in somewhat odd, retro proportions.
Cut from polyester jersey, this A-line dress features short sleeves, a half-placket polo-style front, and small twin pockets reminiscent of '60s dress.
Included with the dress is a chainlink accessory in cellulose acetate, rendered in a marble blue color.
