THE MAKING OF PRADA’S FALL/WINTER 2024 BOW DRESS

In their latest Fall/Winter collection, Prada showcased a stunning dress with tone-on-tone satin bows, featuring a pink and purple color palette.
50 meters of ribbon and 13 hours of embroidery were required to create one of these masterpieces of craftsmanship. The process involves several steps, including cutting the sablé fabric, positioning the bows, and hand-cutting and securing the satin ribbons by the embroiderer. The embroidery is sewn along a chevron pattern at specific points across the dress, including the neckline and the hip area.

Overall, the collection was heavily inspired by history, intertwining it with romance by transforming traditionally masculine materials into feminine designs. This is achieved through the use of clichés such as bows, ruffles, and frills.
