For this collection Miuccia Prada rediscovered a French mill that shelved its entire production -looms and all- of a special lamé formerly popular in the 1950s and 1960s. They dusted off the machines and made up for ‘temps perdu,’ reproducing a fabric seemingly identical to what Chanel used in 1963. Miuccia was photographed wearing the original Chanel ensemble in January of 2002. A dozen skirts produced in this fabric were featured on the runway and, in true form, Miuccia made them her own by introducing an array of select colors, pleats, and ruffle adornments. 

The skirt fastens with a series of button snaps along the interior of the front blue strip. There are two functional hand pockets at the front as well.

Approximate measurements-
Waist ~15 inches.
Length ~21.75 inches.

Condition note-
Excellent vintage condition. A couple of stray pulled threads.
