Prada
The House of Savoy coat of arms and knotted rope on Prada’s seal herald that the iconic Italian luxury fashion house was named Official Supplier to the Italian Royal Household in 1919. Started in 1913 by Mario Prada, the brand’s original shop in Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II still has the mahogany shelves that displayed its early wares such as travel items and handbags. Today, these fine leather goods are joined by the clothing, wallets and other various accessories that keep the brand on the cutting edge of fashion.
When Mario Prada’s granddaughter, Miuccia Prada (b. 1949), inherited the business from her mother in the late 1970s, Prada was recognized for its quality craftsmanship, yet it was still a modest-sized company. Miuccia, an enthusiast of unconventional Italian filmmakers who’d earned a Ph.D. in political science, introduced the concept of using pocone — a military-grade water-resistant nylon that feels like silk.
Nylon revolutionized the fashion house’s business, with the first Prada nylon backpack released to universal acclaim in 1984. Soon the durable, water-resistant material was incorporated into Prada’s ready-to-wear collections for both men and women. No one had previously considered nylon a part of luxury fashion, and it wasn’t long before the family-owned company best known for its luggage was leading modern style that emphasized function as much as form.
Characterized by clean lines and a refined elegance that signaled the new direction of the legacy brand, Miuccia Prada debuted her first ready-to-wear collection for women in Fall/Winter 1988. More inventive fashion would follow in the ensuing years, such as the 1993 launch of the more affordable, more playful Miu Miu line, which was aimed at a younger audience, and the introduction of Prada Sport in 1997 — a collection now widely seen as prescient for its embrace of athleisure.
Prada has regularly gone against the grain to elevate styles that have long been out of fashion. In 1996, there were dresses and skirts in clashing patterns and muted earth tones that seemed flat and outdated, all worn with chunky high wedge sandals. Fanny packs followed three years later, and elaborate lace in 2008. Each season continues to bring new eye-catching innovations for the historic brand, including enhanced attention to sustainability with Prada Re-Nylon, a new line of bags created from recycled ocean plastic.

- Yves Saint Laurent Tom Ford F/W 2004 Silk Embroidered Boots YSLBy Yves Saint Laurent, Tom Ford for Yves Saint LaurentLocated in Boca Raton, FLTom Ford took over as the creative director for Yves Saint Laurent from 1999 to 2004. Ford, like Saint Laurent, is noted for a hyper-progressive vision that tends to bring multiple layers to his design work. For Ford, this frequently manifests as an underlying or overt layer of sensuality. The 2004 Fall/Winter collection was Ford’s last for YSL, and featured a gorgeous array of Oriental inspired designs in jewel tones with fur accents. Featured in looks 18 & 20 on that season’s runway, these exquisite over-the-knee boots are the most memorable and coveted boots from the Tom Ford YSL era. Done in black silk, the boots have an undeniable sensual allure and are embroidered with large red-crowned cranes and fuzzy pink cherry blossoms that spiral around each leg. Cranes symbolize peace and prosperity, while cherry blossoms herald the arrival of Spring, indicating hope and renewal. A small pool of blue water is embroidered at the front of each ankle, adding a nice pop of color that defines the leg and draws the eye upward. Size: 35.5 FR 5.5 US The boots have beautiful sculpted red lacquer wedge heels and are finished with a half circle of metallic gold piping on each side of the shoe’s vamp. An incredible addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, these showstopping, statement boots are wearable works of art that will elevate any elegant little black dress or chic ensemble you choose to style them with.

- Jean Paul Gaultier Blush Crinkle Silk Chiffon Rib Knit Yoke Skirt, 2000sBy Jean Paul GaultierLocated in Boca Raton, FLJean Paul Gaultier’s designs always have a particular erotic drama to them. From his cone-bra corset designed for Madonna, Gaultier tends to create garments that convey an apocalyptic, deconstructionist aesthetic. Gaultier has a number of lines ranging from haute couture to childrenswear. His unapologetic styles dash his clothing with a hint of avant-garde but is what makes him so popular amongst bold celebrities such as Rihanna and Gaga. Reflective of Gaultier’s signature aesthetic this ca. 2000 skirt is made from a combination of blush rib-knit cotton and a faded pink, silk crinkle chiffon. The rib-knit forms the skirt yoke to which the chiffon is attached in jagged arches at hip level. A warped waistline questions the finesse of the dress that is contrasted by the chandelier draping of the skirts handkerchief hem which is finished by the chiffon being tied into knots. This Gaultier design is eerie as it conveys a delicate yet distressed sentiment. Size estimate: S Measurements: Waist: 27 inches Hips: 36 inches Length: 33 inches to 44 inches at the bottom of the knot. This cotton knit, and silk chiffon skirt is fitted throughout the hip and releases into a bohemian fluidity. It is unlined and rests at hip level and the waistline is lined with an elastic to stabilize the knit and to secure the skirt to the body. The skirt can be slipped over the head or simply stepped into. Professionally cleaned and pressed, this JPG skirt...Category
