Prada turquoise silk taffeta floral applique jacket spring 2012
2012 Prada Spring Collection
Done in a turquoise silk taffeta
Jacket begins with a high shawl collar and long sleeves that reach a few inches above the wrist
The slightly fitted shoulders and more formal nature of the jacket are balanced by the flared hem that falls just above the hips for an incredibly chic look, creating an A-line silhouette
Hand appliqued bright orange lace tulips with embroidered black stems cover the sleeves and body of the jacket below the shoulder at the front and back, relaying the playful imagery of being wrapped in flowers while adding textural depth and a gorgeous pop of color
The hem of the jacket is edged at intervals in lace flowers at the back and front, balancing the unadorned section of taffeta at the top while adding another layer of richness
This floral applique taffeta jacket is fully lined in black silk and closes with two concealed hand-set snaps
It can easily be paired with a sheath dress or worn as part of an ensemble, and is the perfect choice for a cocktail party or special occasion
A version of this jacket was worn as the last look of that season’s runway
This 2012 Prada jacket has been professionally eco dry cleaned and pressed
