In the Milanese spring of 2004, amazing Miuccia sent gorgeous dresses down the runway as usual... only this time, some of them were tie-dyed! Tie dying always seemed like something you did as a kid with your mum on a warm summer day... not that I did this mind you, but thats the impression I got from watching something like the wonder years and family ties. What I mean to point out is, that tie dying didn't seem like a high fashion thing to do... the colours always seemed a bit off and the ratios were never right... then WOW. Prada sent beautifully coloured dresses where all the colours blended into each other like magic, like they were always meant to be that way.
Style.com has them all displayed lovelier than I could ever manage (http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/S2004RTW-PRADA).
My absolute favourite is on page3, the third last dress. A beautiful swirl of green and blue... and the long long pearls are such a refined touch. This is when high fashion really caught my attention, and made me realise how clothes can be really beautiful. How they make you take notice and maybe dream a little dream.
