Prada 1996 Floral Butterfly Slip Print Embroidered mini Dress 42 US 6

Prada by Miuccia Prada Spring/Summer 1996 Runway Collection – Look 55 Rare Grapevine Appliqué Silk Slip Dress Size IT 42 | 100% Silk | Made in Italy Excellent condition! A true piece of fashion history from one of Miuccia Prada’s most celebrated and defining collections: Spring/Summer 1996. Often referred to as the origin of Prada’s “Ugly Chic” era, this collection disrupted 90s minimalism with unconventional beauty—think librarian silhouettes, muted tones, and offbeat prints that somehow felt both nostalgic and subversively modern. This particular dress—Look 55 from the runway—is among the most coveted pieces. Crafted from diaphanous ivory silk chiffon, it features a delicate empire waist and is adorned with elaborate hand-appliquéd grapevine branches, blossoms, and butterflies. While the grapevine motif was printed across several looks in the collection, this is the only known version featuring full embroidery, making it exceptionally rare. This dress was also featured in the official Spring 1996 ad campaign and appeared in a US Vogue editorial from January 1996, adding to its cultural significance. Flat Measurements: • Bust (armpit to armpit): ~14.25 inches • Length (from underarm): ~28.5 inches A collector’s dream—ethereal, intellectual, and iconic, this piece captures the quiet rebellion and eccentric elegance that defined a new era of Prada.
