Stripes and prints were mixed with joyful abandon on the Spring 2011 Prada runway and were then translated for retail with very little difference in some case. This skirt is a great example of that as it stays very true to the version that walked the runway. This is a mixing of prints that has become iconic and instantly associated with Prada. It is made of a almost canvas feeling cotton mix so it retains structure. The print covers the skirt from top to bottom and all the way around the sides and back. I love the baroque feel it has mixed with a very modern silhouette. It's a beauty. Excellent condition

Style.com said of this collection:

"Only Miuccia Prada could attach a label like "minimal baroque" to a collection whose references ranged from hospital scrubs to seventeenth-century cherubs to Jazz Age superwoman Josephine Baker. Fishing around for an alternative to "fresh," she herself came up with "brave, bold, and obvious"—that last one a typical head-spinner......But there was also more than enough of Prada's twisty-ness to boost this collection into her already chock-full pantheon of greats. Those cherubs, for a start, plucked from a curlicued baroque interior and all mixed up with bananas and naive monkeys in an exuberantly cartoonish print that looked like something lifted from a poster for a Josephine Baker performance at the Folies Bergère in the twenties.....As she said backstage, banana earrings vibrating: "It's time to be bold." And that's one maxim that, with any luck, will rub off on the world at large."
