Behind the design
This belted nylon dress draws on the visual language of both school and military uniforms. The Met links its practical silhouette to Prada’s utility chic and to the freedom of movement associated with 1960s futurist fashion. Familiar clothing codes become a framework for examining modern femininity rather than merely reproducing a uniform.
