Label Text:A high, layered collar and a lace dress with peek-a-boo skirt comprise an ensemble that is prim, yet oddly alluring. The combination of quirky and cool is characteristic of Miuccia Prada’s design style. The fashions shown in Prada’s fall 2008 collection were also reminiscent of the company’s sleek, crisp designs from the early 1990s.
