Wow...I did not expect this at all...I find it dull.
2 words for this 'Wes Anderson' (clothes, styling, set, some of the music).
Makes much more sense now that he was here 3 months ago shooting a short film for Prada.
i loved it. every single piece, the styling, everything.
Now that I think about it, the color palette of this collection looks like it was sourced from screen stills of his films. And the way the models moved through the set reminded me of those long unbroken scenes in his films.

MILAN — The ideal house — as envisaged by Rem Koolhaas and his AMO research team — was the background to Miuccia Prada’s show Sunday.
Men in boldly checked shirts faced off with low-slung boxy furniture, a child’s toy horse on the floor and an iron on a wide, flat table, while digital views through the windows encompassed high rises, with passing clouds and flocks of birds or a p*ssy cat waving its tail.
But was this men’s wear show an ideal wardrobe? Pretty much, if you are a Prada fanatic and want a square-cut jacket, a square-patterned suit or straight pants.
Ms. Prada, wearing a checked shirt and calling it “my obsession,” said the starting point of the set was a still life of the bourgeoisie — a subject of constant fascination for the designer.
“I want to talk about what is real fashion: the perfect shirt, the perfect color,” she said.
On this unconventional runway the “banal is beautiful” idea so alluring to the designer had its high moments: Perfectly tailored camel coats or brief leather jackets worn by mop-haired guys of different ages. The colors were seductive in their tones of turquoise, red and butter yellow. The sturdy shoes balanced on rubber treads will be instant objects of desire. And the fetishism of the checked shirt, perhaps with a ripple of double frills down its front?
“You never know why you like something,” Ms. Prada said.
