The collection is just one element of a wider project that DSMNY is opening in celebration of New York's forthcoming cultural events and art fairs, including Frieze. If you didn't catch Prada's Spring '08 collection (this reporter was still in high school), you now have a second chance at those botanical prints, metallic leaf dresses, and sheer parkas. Dover Street Market has teamed up with Prada for another exclusive women's capsule, this time reintroducing twelve key styles and prints inspired by that vibrant and memorable season.In true DSM fashion, these aren't just copies of past designs; each piece is hand-painted and thus one-of-a-kind for a thoroughly modern spin. A first look at the lineup, which hits DSMNY tomorrow, May 8, debuts exclusively here on cbamd.com.

"I am so delighted to be receiving this second very special collection by Prada for Dover Street Market," Adrian Joffe, CEO of Comme des Garçons (the parent company of DSM), told cbamd.com. "Their willingness to create these unique capsule collections for us fills me with endless pride and proves how much they understand what we are trying to do. I think it is fair to say that our mutual admiration and respect knows no bounds."

The collection is just one element of a wider project that DSMNY is opening in celebration of New York's forthcoming cultural events and art fairs, including Frieze. Palace Skate's installation from Tate Britain, Comme des Garçons' giant Kewpie, and a special exhibit of archive hats by Stephen Jones (which coincides with the launch of his new Wisteria Hysteria perfume) will be unveiled at an open house tomorrow.

The second Prada x DSMNY collection will be available exclusively at Dover Street Market New York, 160 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10016.
