The fish scale inspired looks.

And the shoes. They're already growing on me.

How does Miuccia decide what set of creations is going to fall under the Prada umbrella and what set of creations is going to fall under Miu Miu?

It's such a lazy collection - basically, the same 6 or 7 designs for dresses and coats but executed in different colors and textures!

Hated the tacked on faux belt and buttons and plastic paillettes especially, quite unwearable.

Some of the checks and colors were promising, but the potential isn't realized. I'm surprised there's so little design this time.

it was interesting but i think she used faux fur , it had a 20s /60s look

I agree 20s/60s. The skullcap things evoked cloches or early aviation.

The roomy big buttoned swingcoats felt mid 60's, a bit Jackie O.

There was a strong scent of Modernism particularly in the kilt fronted tunics with the Mondrianesque graphic which on first impressions I felt might have been the strongest section.

The show started off quietly and built, the skull caps eventually electrifying into wigs with the discoball gold and orange shine section which could either read mid 60's futurism, a bit Courreges inspired perhaps; or somewhere in glamrock or disco 70's territory or all three.

Despite being able to retro reference it, the collection did read fairly otherworldy, strangely futuristic throughout.

I felt a nice play on minimalism early on with the pieces quite stark yet functional embellishments ie buttons or collars were oversized creating a dizzying play on proportion.

As someone else observed, from the rear a few of the tunic dresses appeared to swing away and stand out from the back as if oversized there.

Definitely one to view again

I love this collection! One of my favorites from Prada.
The coats in the first half are absolutely amazing. Best outfit is the one on Mariacarla Boscono!
I am in love with those artistic shoes.

Specially with those scales, they are ubber vintage, and has a modern impact as well. Taking too much retro details can lead into nothing new. The only thing that makes it Prada are bits here and there of quirky that this season to me is just plain weird-and not in a good way- although scales are always exciting..

were those faux fur on the show?

She definately had real fur and faux fur in this collection.

Its the usual modern+crafty Prada look ... I dig it .. I love how the pattern is so geometric and the use of texture the on ways that only Miuccia can do ...

Who told the models to hold the bags like that? It seems SO weird!

Some of the heels from the shoes are soo phallic they made me blush .. and it is very sexy (for Prada) dont you think?
