Prada AW09 Black Wool Silk Blend Pants

These black trousers come from Prada's Autumn/Winter 2009 menswear season, which Miuccia Prada presented in Milan as a deliberately pared back answer to that year's economic climate, stripping the wardrobe down to essential pieces in black and grey. The cloth is a wool and silk blend. Trade press at the time counted the show, with its naval references and sober tailoring, among the strongest Prada menswear outings of the period.
