Spring 2011 Runway Silk Banana Print Prada Skirt

The banana print was featured on the Spring 2011 Prada runway and was translated for retail on more pieces - like this gorgeous silk chiffon skirt. It is really a print that has become iconic and instantly associated with Prada. It is so light and airy and the full length is perfect for this season's bohemian feel. The print covers the skirt from top to bottom with a band of black chiffon anchoring the waist. It has a touch of transparency and comes with its original silk under skirt that slips on underneath. Its a beauty! Excellent condition and appears unworn.

Style.com said of this collection:

"Only Miuccia Prada could attach a label like "minimal baroque" to a collection whose references ranged from hospital scrubs to seventeenth-century cherubs to Jazz Age superwoman Josephine Baker. Fishing around for an alternative to "fresh," she herself came up with "brave, bold, and obvious"—that last one a typical head-spinner......But there was also more than enough of Prada's twisty-ness to boost this collection into her already chock-full pantheon of greats. Those cherubs, for a start, plucked from a curlicued baroque interior and all mixed up with bananas and naive monkeys in an exuberantly cartoonish print that looked like something lifted from a poster for a Josephine Baker performance at the Folies Bergère in the twenties.....As she said backstage, banana earrings vibrating: "It's time to be bold." And that's one maxim that, with any luck, will rub off on the world at large."
