By A Mystery Man Writer

Described by designer Miuccia Prada as “primitive” the Prada Spring 2009 collection spoke to a sense of basics. Reimagining the clothing of prehistory, Prada took the concept of simple bodily coverage and made it high-fashion.

Cat’s-eye padded bra cups are the focus of this top transitioning into an off-the-shoulder bolero with a thin collar that beautifully frames the wearer’s décolletage. An adjustable halter harness and a cased elastic waist strap help secure the top while adding a bit more dimension to this piece. The sleeves can be rolled to be worn as seen on look #3 from the 2009 runway. Size: 40 Size estimate: Small Sleeves: 18 inches Bust: 32 inches A hook-and-eye and black ribbon tie closure secure the cups at
