Prada 1998SS High Heels A white semi-sheer maxi skirtA pair of high heels from Prada's Spring Summer 1998 collection, designed by Miuccia Prada, who held sole creative authority at the house. The season belongs to Prada's late 1990s 'ugly chic' era, when the house advanced cerebral, deliberately 'unsexy' footwear codes alongside off key colour and retro prints. Prada was founded in Milan in 1913.
