Prada, yes please

“It’s very complex. Basically I started with the idea of women’s obsessions with typical materials like fur, python and paillettes, but then to introduce freshness and innocence to turn them into something different,” 


yea, yea, yea but i still don't know what's going on.


But perhaps that's the beauty of Prada; you don't have to know the story, just respect that there is one, follow the mystery and appreciate the style.





That said however, i found there to be a strong connection to a story about death of innocence, as young girls regretfully matured into women throughout the show. The fragility of youth came from light organza shirt dresses and drop waist pieces which turned to reveal a low scooping back, as if someone had hollowed out part of the girls' barrier. They clutched snakeskin purses so close to their chests with a frightened vulnerability and school girl hurriedness; yet the lack of explanation was utterly intriguing.


As the show graduated, the models walked with confidence both in their movement and flourishing style. Miuccia gave her models snakeskin and fur avaitor helmets; perhaps symbolising protection as they entered the adult world. The designs also grew more elaborate, echoing the complexities of growing up; futuristic dresses moved like retro chandeliers made from oversized perspex sequins, simulating fishscales, whilst winter coats had dyed grass-like fur lurking between leather panels enriched with sequins and crystals. However, it was the shoes which drew most curiosity using trompe l'oeil detail to make boots resemble square toe mary-janes worn with girlish knee-high socks

This season, the Prada women evolved with a quirk, naturally attributed to the Miu Miu inventiveness, hinting at a entwining relationship between the sister lines. Another outstanding collection from Miuccia Prada; the woman who never goes wrong.
