I wonder why she decided to recycle the crinkled look from S/S09 and the Fur Stoles from S/S11, even the music from F/W10 and S/S11 appeared again. I do like this a lot so far.
But the fur stoles have grown - they're now towel size - slung over the shoulder as perhaps a towel might be - in a spa? For any who have read my 'spa' thing - in Prada, Rick Owens and Celine -
From look #3 we have that rouched wide bateau neckline on away from the body smocks - as we saw at Rick Owens. From look # 5 - fur towels.
The prints that come in from #8 - abstract - but cosmic explosions? From halfway (exactly) they acquire abstract faces also. Gods?
Crumples from #12. Loose, easy. Like Celine. Relaxing back. Unironed. Though far from unkept. Just less strict.
Hardware jewellry from #14 - not sure what that is - looks like ironwork from a fence?
Wetlook leather from #15. Yes, water - purity. Carrying on the shine dialogues. But kinky. Clean kink. Secrets. Just so Prada. From then until #22the coats have plenty swing.
#22 the abstract print goes more circular. Not exactly sure what that is but still feels somehow cosmic. And in true Prada style - eyewear going there - these are geeky girls - intellectuals, scientists perhaps. I'm thinking quantum physics geeks - with the cosmic explosions - like TV's Big Bang theory. If we want to lowerbrow culture it. And nothing wrong with that. I saw the cosmic in such as Comme and McQueen last season. Dialogue? Philosophy - for those that notice - has gone sciencey - NeoDarwinists, Vitalists (Speculative Realism). I'll stop. Point = clever girls.
And so it continues - a good few Prada staples (welcome return of raw japanese denim noted) but united by something new. The crumpled shirtdresses around #39 are dangerously short and unbuttoned to add. Karen Elson's closing look is beautiful colourwork. With it's highshine close to Buddhist peach skirt and close to army green printed robecoat, it's evoking in me the notion of a spiritual army. I'm a conscript. I want the force to be with me. Cosmic. Heady. Smart. Cool sexy elegant geeks
