Peacock feather applique skirt-top
Prada • Spring-Summer 2005
-
Interpretations of avian motifs at Prada’s Spring/Summer 2005 show ranged from the eccentric to the extravagant: the former included Bakelite belts with parrot-head buckles, dresses and separates with colored feather prints and intarsiaed ducks in silk faille, and for the latter: a series of pieces adorned with real peacock feathers, including this skirt.
On light cotton voile, peacock feathers are appliquéd throughout the entire front of the skirt. Smaller fan-shaped base feathers gradually cascade into larger iridescent eyespotted feathers, mimicking the plumage on an Indian peacock’s train.
The feathers are affixed to the skirt by their quills, allowing each one to move individually with the wearer’s movements for an eye-catching effect. The pleated back is left unadorned for practicality.
Produced in limited quantities, the skirt we have available is numbered 070 on the label. An additional snap button has been added to the waistband which enables it to be worn as a strapless top.
