Featured in the ad campaign of one of Prada’s most revered and collectible seasons, spring 2000. The collection is famous most of all for its prints that adorned the most delicate silks and chiffons. This blouse is made of a sturdier silk crepe fabric and features the surrealist hearts print. The print is a nod to one of Miuccia Prada’s design inspirations, Yves Saint Laurent, whose own pop-art ‘hearts’ print emerged in 1971. Miuccia Prada invited it into her surrealist vision, giving the print a new 3-dimensional quality.

"This time was sure about femininity, about sensuality, about beauty.” - Miuccia Prada
