A simple and modern slip reminiscent of lingerie in the 1930s, from the line of lingerie released by Prada in 1998. Underwear, which had been publicly invisible, became close to outerwear in the late 1990s, and the difference between the categories almost disappeared. This slip can be used as outerwear as well.
Prada was founded in Milan in 1913, and it attracted world attention with its nylon bags. The company introduced prêt-a-porter from 1989. In the 1990s, Prada led the world through its "banal" fashion from its home base in Milan.
