A striking piece from Miu Miu's Fall/Winter 1999 runway collection, this strapless black maxi dress features sculptural elegance with delicate ruffle trim at the bust, waist, and lower skirt. Originally presented in brown as Look 42 on the runway, the dress showcases Miuccia Prada’s signature subversion of classic femininity — balancing austerity with unexpected romantic elements. The 1999 collection was marked by minimalist silhouettes, utilitarian references, and subtle provocations, drawing inspiration from 1940s lingerie and postwar restraint. This version in black feels timeless, architectural, and evocative of the era's quiet luxury. The original belt is no longer present, but the dress remains strong in structure and styling.
Condition: Good vintage condition – light scratches on the back panel, overall very good
