Author Description

From its vast collection of creations dating back from 1988, Prada pays homage to the skirt and celebrates it as a vehicle of design movements that has been denied its share of the spotlight. Together with the exhibition held in Tokyo, this book affirms the skirt, which has often been overlooked due to its familiarity, as a wonderous zone of invention. In Waist Down, the amazing abilities of skirts, explored by Prada, are defined and exhibited by the creative think-tank AMO and architectural design firm OMA. This volume, with original text of the curator Kayoko Ota and the specific graphic design, provides a fascinating view into the explorations of the costume.
