Description from the seller
THE BRAND IN THE PERIOD
Between the late 1990s and the early 2000s, Prada transformed the concept of luxury by integrating industrial materials and outdoor performance into tailoring cuts. In this period, the use of nylon and technical fabrics became the centerpiece of Milanese sophistication, redefining the brand's aesthetics through extreme textile innovation.
CULTURAL CONTEXT
The garment belongs to the 'Italian Technical' cluster, a symbol of an 'urban utility' aesthetic that blends minimalism and functionality. It represents the transition toward luxury techwear of the early 2000s, a period in which high-performance archival design began to profoundly influence contemporary collecting and industrial fashion design.
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
The jacket is made with a lightweight nylon shell (nylonshell), the material of choice for breathability and durability. The construction features a clean front closure with snap buttons, maintaining the essential lines typical of Miuccia Prada's minimalism. The design prioritizes the fabric’s structure and the cut over visible branding, embodying the era's 'stealth wealth' aesthetic.
CONDITIONS
The garment shows slight natural aging of the technical fabric. The vintage patina present is consistent with the use and preservation of original archival synthetic materials from this period.

Label size: 46 | INT: XL | IT: 46 | EU: 40. Measurements: Length: 48 cm | Shoulders: 56 cm | Chest (armpit to armpit): 85 cm. IT 46 - Regular Fit
