A Short History Of The Bandeau Top In Popular Culture











1. Prada Lookbook Spring/Summer 2009
2. Salvador Dali Venus de Milo with drawers, 1916
3. Tamara de Lempicka La Chemise Rose, 1933
4. Prada Spring/Summer 2001, Fall/Winter 2006, Spring/Summer 2009 & Spring/Summer 2012

An embrace of the feminine figure, the voluptuous form. Just like a Petrarchan sonnet, Miuccia's bandeau caresses the woman's firm breasts, articulating admiration for the sensitive and untouched. A signature idea that secretely strives for mainstream acceptance.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Taking the principle of collage and multiplying it in itarative rows of three. Irregular rows of cloth and colour. Layered geometric shapes. Three lines of text.
