Prada S/S 10 Milan

How is it the diffusion line is so much better than the main line?

Miu Miu is actually not the diffusion line, Miuccia tries to keep them separate

 

[ax80]

Could someone post the whole collection?

 

[fincher]

hmmm, it needs time, i think... but anyway, about the shoes... it´s not only necessary talk about them like they are beaufitul or they are not... but are they functional? comfortable? imagine, you walk through the town and clink on all the way home

 

[LabelWhore4]

The shoes are probably my favorite part of this collection.

**no model talk please**
I'm not sure about this collection... but I thought the same last year.. so I need to see more and judge.. the shoes are Horrible!! as people are saying "Very Chanel and DG ss07"

 

[clocked]

i like the more ornate shoes, and the coats/jackets, but i agree, time to stop with the diapers, Miuccia, it's not catching on!

 

[Casualuxury]

I'm obsessed, it's as if Salvador Dali did the costumes for Romey and Michele's High School Reunion. I'm loving the fact that so many forward thinking designers are headed straight out of the 80's and into a full blown 90's revival! I also love the negative responses this collection is getting from the general public (emphasis on general). Prada has never had the mission of being pretty, or on trend, or flattering. Muccia has always been known for starting trends, as well as beautifying some of the most ugly things, can we discuss for a second the F/W 2007 collection of beaten down bag ladies, and how popular the banana heel became because of it. Please and thank you!

i like this collection , her clothes always have a story and i like that lol. This reminds me of mid 90s fashion esp gucci but im not complaining im fed up of 80s inspired clothes.

Seriously I don't know how Prada is getting away with these collections, and worse so, everyone is always falling over it's 'amazingness'. Anyone else sends chandeliers down the runway, they'll get crucified. Prada does it and it's art, inventive, etc. Those shoes are disguisting. The whole thing has no theme, just a few random looks put together.

I'm basically lost for words.

Milan FW has just became my favourite one! I love those emotions before & after Prada's shows I like tops so far.

Miu Miu is actually not the diffusion line, Miuccia tries to keep them separate

Yeah, I definitely get that but to me Miu Miu and Prada are still very similar in aesthetic and Miu Miu is the smaller "sister" of Prada which is what diffusion literally means so I just consider it a diffusion whether or not if it is technically.

I love the catwalk and the screens and surprisingly like the collection.......my first positive comment about a Prada collection.
Some quite diverse pieces and lovely fabric. I think my main reason FOR liking it, is it's so not Prada.......bits of Versace print, Cavalli OTT, and certainly some of the short dresses are ripped from one of Tom Ford's last YSL collections.....not sure of the year, but geisha inspired.

 

[-AmericanDreamer]

I like that for the most part the pieces all pretty much stand alone, it's almost under accessorized. Then there's that messy hair, those bright lips and those funny glasses which are all seemingly pointless and distracting - but they add so much life to the collection.

I think I need some more time to look at the collection as a whole, there are some things that I have yet to really wrap my head around. But, it's very intriguing, and different from anything we've seen so far.

Prada Not So Crystal Clear

MILAN — With wall projections switching from a sparkling chandelier to a sun-drenched beach, Prada’s collection illuminated the Milan summer 2010 season on Thursday.

Chunks of crystal dripping from shoes or worn as a chain mail over brief shorts competed with prints of life as a beach — an unexpected combination typical to the modern but mysterious vision of its founder/designer.

“Beach and antiquity — high and low — it is all the same,” said Miuccia Prada backstage. “It is supposed to be an ironic take — sometimes nostalgic, for a contemporary take on antiquity for those who don’t understand the beauty of the past.”

But this was Prada’s weird, edgy take on beauty: child women with Bambi limbs, scarlet lips and parts down the back of their messy hair. They came out first in steel-gray silk shorts cut high, the jackets wide, often with a raw edge and a float of fabric at the rear. Transparent plastic bags, perhaps with crystal snaps, competed with the chandelier shoes.

The clothes were as light as the winter collection had been thick and heavy. But there was the same sense of dangerous sexuality, as a model came out in a romper suit under a cape top. The beach theme was an excuse not so much for the palm tree and sunbathing prints as for a sportiness that ran through the collection. Shake off the sparkles — like the open-work crystal dresses that closed the show — and you just had a top and a pair of curvy shorts.

This was one of Ms. Prada’s more oblique collections, for the mismatch of historical glamour and clothes that seemed both ordinary and unfinished were a puzzle. It looked like the designer, who has been showing grown-up clothes of late, wanted to capture an elusive moment of youth.

I think its truly stunning, didnt like a Prada collection this much in a long time. The tops with crystal's are stunning, i cant wait to see this on video, and how it looks in motion.

 

[Thanatos]

I'm a bit disappointed tbh, the past few Prada collections have all been so inspired and cleverly done. I find this just a bit boring and unoriginal, the opposite of the two things I usually love about Prada. Maybe once I've seen the whole collection I'd get a better feel for it, but so far nothing impresses me, which is sad because Prada is always among the collections I most look forward to.

 

[JeanAvril]

I must say, as tacky as they are, I love those PVC-ed out shoes. The rest... Ehh, I'm sure the collection will get crammed down my throat enough next season for me to like it somewhat.

 

[RaniLovesNYC]

Wow, I actually sorta like this collection. Normally, I hate, HATE Prada, but this one! I really like it. Some of the pieces are total crap like the diaper shorts. Other than that, I like

 

[ilaughead]

Hmm...I do see some of the references people have been mentioning (Chanel spring '07) and the styling is a little not-Prada feeling, but this is surprisingly likable for the Miuccia. The crystals and the shoes are both really great, but I'm not enjoying the briefs at all. Seriously, it's not a wearable, or even very attractive look. The longer knee-length shorts are a much better proposition.

And this is one collection where the economy is playing a big role. (All of this plastic? Unfinished seams? The little variation in fabrics? Something tells me this won't be too expensive to produce...)

 

[cul8tr]

I thought that plastic / PCV look was trendy few seasons ago and will never come back. Apparently I was wrong. I don't like this collection so far. It's the worst Prada collection I've seen. Clothes, accesories (chandelier shoes) are just tacky. The worst thisng is, we'll see those clothes in every single edd next season.
