Prada 2008FW Dress and a refusal of conventionalA dress from Prada's autumn winter 2008 collection, designed by Miuccia Prada under her sole creative direction. The piece dates to a period of conceptual, often historically referential collections, in which craft and embellishment were set against restraint. Prada was founded in Milan in 1913 as Fratelli Prada.
