Fabio has the last laugh as always

fabio had also boring - not great collections under his prada years as well he no master of all either.

honestly good or bad prada shows have all one thing in common worn out of context of the fashion season it was produced for the items stand on their own and stay interesting in real life way beyond their years.

new prada is best worn years later.

Dont think they ate, they threw up!

Ugh, I hate to admit that I kind of want a few pieces (this coat and this coat) and accessories from the collection. However, I don't see the Prada man in this, just only Raf Simons - and even then I can attribute the identity more to Martin Margiela, Burberry by Bailey, etc. I like it for what it is because I don't see it changing any time soon.

I’m not mad at it? But it also didn’t invoke much in me either. I do see a lot of desirable separates (and tbh I’m not mad at the styling either) but I also saw a lot of those desirable separates at COS last week so? I’m bored.

SO much Raf....sure there are some nice pieces but overall was terrible...the similar set as CK...i hope Miuccia ends this partnership soon but i know it's not gonna happen...in fact i think Raf will remain after her...

I'm forcing myself to like it but i can't, i'm sorry, don't hate me

I hope the press/editors are brave enough to say something but also i know they won't....

Something is really weird. I’ve always looked up to Prada because it was the brand that informed in the microcosme of fashion, how the fashion crowd would dress.
It’s been a long time since that hasn’t been the case and so this collection gave me tiktoks vibes. Someone who is trying to be fashionable and edgy would probably relate to this but I find it so unremarkable.
The checks coats were good.

When Raf car to take his bow, I also realized that he is not a Prada man either.

What is the relevance of this proposition? The cowboy trend à la sauce intellectuelle is quite cringy.

Dsquared is better no? Lol

Wearing Prada doesn’t necessarily mean you embody its essence, and few designers truly do. I can think of a couple of designers better suited for the role than Raf Simons, such as Alessandro Dell’Acqua or Marco Zanini. Raf has introduced a eurotrash sensibility to the brand, reminiscent of what he was doing toward the end of his own label. While Miuccia could make such an aesthetic feel sophisticated and refined, with Raf, it comes across as juvenile and overly obvious. He undoubtedly has a place in fashion, but it’s not at the helm of a major house. His tenure at Calvin Klein cements that fact.

Looked at the collection stills, not yet the show, but I am not interested in Raf's translation of Prada, or the fact that he may take the helm one day. I want more Miuccia, less Raf in these collections. The collection palette, very Prada, but the concepts are slowly getting watered down, season-after-season since Raf has been annoyingly bowing with Miuccia.

 

[Demna]

Simple; One of the worst Prada collections I have ever seen.

Wait. The more I see it, the more I can get to like it... but still not great.

 

[proseccotabis]

Couldn't find this thread all day idk why lol.
I loved the soundtrack. in comparison to D&G it was actually relevant to the mood. The elements though were very....predictable. Very predictable and neat, almost begging the buyers please buy everything lol. underwhelmed, but certain it will sell well. even the fugly cowboy boots.....i mean i only hope that the Womens collection is going to be better than this

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

Very Raf, very CK.
I don't really dig the main themes of the collection.
The fur collars feel like an afterthought, like "mmm... give me all these coyote rugs, I just had a genius idea!".
If you close up on them, they are not well integrated into the jackets/coats.
The fit of the trousers on the boots is often too tight and not nice.

I liked the leather pieces (the suits, the one in green suede, the patchwork ones- reminding of the Margiela varsity from 3 days ago).
I liked the tribute to Lynch, playing Badalamenti's The Pink Room.
I would have gone full Fire Walk With Me!: red set, stroboscopic light.

Am I crazy about this? No.
It is commercial, recognisable, and has something for almost everybody, like in a supermarket (which in a way is).
