Highlighting the designer’s fall 2003 ready-to-wear collection were an array of eye-popping prints inspired by some of textile’s most graphic eras — the Art Nouveau age and the swinging, psychedelic Sixties. The prints Prada used are replicas of Holliday & Brown designs from the Sixties, when the London-based, high-end neckwear manufacturer poured popping colors into turn-of-the-century William Morris-inspired floral prints.

In November, 2002, Marco Mastroianni, in charge of Prada’s fabric research, visited Mantero to garner ideas for the new line. Luigi Turconi, Mantero’s co-owner, showed him the Holliday & Brown archives, which include more than 135 books, and offered the looks as an exclusive to Prada. Thrilled with what he saw, Mastroianni took the books back to Miuccia, who then selected several prints to be included in both collections. Note that this skirt is missing
