Prada F/W 14.15 Milan

[maxlinden]

My only criticism for the collection was the metallic trim and pipping, it made some of the pieces look tacky(ugly really)

I fail to see anything sophisticated about this. Not trying to be a smart ***, I just truly don't see it this season. She's got the vulgarity part down pat though.

ha ha agree....was looking for the sophisticated part.... still looking...

For me, the best collection in Milan is, as usual, No. 21. So far at least...

I really like the coats.

Sheer for winter yeah!! I love the jackets at the beginning, very precise collection.

Nothing about this screams sophisticated or expensive. It makes me mad that she even had the audacity to put out a collection that was so similar to what she showed for pre-Fall a few months ago. That was good, this was just drawn out.

I'm still on the fence one to be honest. On one hand, there are many fantastic pieces, like the sheer dresses, but on the other, few looks are quite challenging and need time to digest.

The soundtrack was excellent though, and the Fassbinder inspiration was really interesting. As a fan of his films it makes me look at this show from another point of view.

Backstage, Prada was more low key than the collection she just sent out – dressed in a demure navy skirt and jacket, with lapis lazuli earrings. She referenced "German influences and the avant garde" and particularly Werner Fassbinder's films, like 1972's The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant and 1981's Lola, that starred a young Sukowa. "I watched his films years ago," she said. "It was time to do what was in my mind for so long." She also elaborated on the importance of the shearling – a contrast from the mink that dominated last season. "It was about high and low," she said. "Poor fur was the only decoration. I wanted to get a kind of humanity."

Definitely not the best collection from Prada but I still quite like it. I do like the balance between darker pieces and more vibrant color palette.

I guess then I am the rare few who like all of this, except finding the prints lacking in new inspiration, everything else is pretty. I love how prada uses color, how seemingly certain colors would look bad with each other but still look great under her hands. Like how the yellow fur collar on the red fur coat.
The sheer items for winter is also a nice touch, I actually find this intellectual, not vulgar.

Ps. To me, the yellow piping on the purple coat on the other hand is more predictable.

I literally cannot find one thing I like about this collection. What happened?

 

[LiuDat]

I like it but it's sort of leaving me cold. I wish I had a stronger reaction to it one way or the other.

The red boots . NEED.

Up close it looks cheap, especially the accessoires. Don't like this much. Some dresses can be nice/delicate without the accessoires like http://postimg.org/image/z5muhx6z3/. I also find Prada most of the time seriously overrated. This is imo a collection dedicated to Anna Dello Russo, she will be ecstatic. But very beautiful material for eds/ads.
