Bergdorf Goodman fashion director
Linda Fargo said that this evening’s show would take her some time “to digest.”
Ms. Prada “has a great color sense … I loved the artistic color blocking,” Ms Fargo said as she left the show, referring to the big blocks of color in the collection’s dresses, tops and coats.
If Ms. Prada’s show is any indication — and it usually is — of upcoming trends, fashionistas will be wearing footless two-toned tights, fur shirts and clutch handbags that look like shag rugs next fall. Shoes will have thick heels, and patent leather will continue to dominate accessories.
Last season, Prada models wore jewel toned turbans. This time, they appear to have just taken off the turbans: the tops of models’ heads were greased to resemble hat head, while the bottom part of the hair was full, giving the impression of static chic. Some wore two-toned wool skull caps in bright colors.
Ms. Prada, who emerged briefly to take a runway bow, wore a bright green skirt with a neutral top. —
