Prada FW1996 Wool Coat Dress – Espresso Brown

Size IT 38 (fits XS, please refer to measurements)

A rare Prada coat dress from the Fall/Winter 1996 collection, seen on the original runway presentation and originating from one of Miuccia Prada’s most influential collections. Crafted in dense espresso-brown wool and fully lined in rayon, the piece embodies the intellectual refinement and architectural precision that defined Prada during the mid-1990s.

The silhouette is clean and structured, gently fitted through the body before opening into a subtle A-line shape that falls just above the knee. The defining detail is the striking ivory contrast trim that outlines the pointed collar, follows the full length of the front placket, and continues through the structured belt positioned at the high hip. This deliberate graphic line creates the illusion of separate jacket and skirt proportions while maintaining the integrity of a single garment.

Five tonal buttons fasten the front, while the back remains characteristically restrained, finished with precise seaming through the shoulders and waist that sculpts the silhouette without unnecessary embellishment.

The combination of deep chocolate brown and crisp ivory reflects Prada’s distinctive approach to color during this period — sophisticated, unexpected, and unmistakably modern. Both coat and dress, the piece balances utility, elegance, and conceptual clarity in a way that remains deeply relevant today.

A museum-quality archival garment from one of the most important collections of 1990s fashion.
