It's really really ugly

This collection looks totes cool, but I just feel like its not Prada-y...

 

[Flashbang]

Can someone post the whole collection, please?

the backs of many of the pieces look more interesting than the front.

Well for being Prada, which I always love to hate, I actually like this
it's quite young, it has a 60's feeling to it, romantic & futuristic at the same time
the chandelier shoes are kinda tricky, so the see through bags
(I hate them both)
the hair is very miu miu, and I like the fact that she put red lips to the girls
it is really sexy actually, for Prada I mean

I really do like this collection, but I don't love it like I have with other Prada collections.
I wish she's played more on the jewelled pieces as I think they're fantastic, and I must say, I'm definitely into the glitzy pvc shoes!
But it does seem less prada more miu miu..

Prada always confuses me and this time is no exception. While the last two collections had a desirability about them I feel like this one doesn't take itself seriously enough, which seems to have been Miuccia's intention. The playful prints paired with such sober fabrics is certainly an "ironic" take on youth but I just find it dull. And the shoes, well I'd rather not go there.
Thankfully though the casting is at least somewhat diverse.

TBH I hated this so much at first but now I like it. The prints are really cool especially on the metallic fabric. Those crinkly fabrics look so light. The piece on Natasha poly is amazing. The shoes are truly beyond tacky, I will just pretend they aren't there. Overall this is good but it's true that it lacks the wow factor that past collections embodied.

Thanks for posting the full collection.

I love the print used on the look Lara has on, and then again on the coat next to it. The yellows with the grey tones are beautiful. And the slice of blue in there.

A review from Cathy Horyn

Prada: Corridors and Light

By Cathy Horyn

A classical façade ran the length of the runway, dividing the audience tonight at Prada, and the colors and prints evoked the saturated, almost fake tones of a seaside postcard. Backstage, Miuccia Prada referred to hotels with long corridors.
“The Shining?” Well, no. I think she had in mind some old Italian hotel, its wide, sedate hallways and checkered floors seen from the perspective of a child. It seemed a sketchy reference on which to pin a major collection. The opening looks included cropped, fly-away jackets over a longer white T-shirt and Bermudas, in a gray silk and nylon blended fabric. The proportions looked fresh, the edges of some of the garments were left raw, and the new accessories were clear plastic bags and platform sandals and pumps, also in a clear plastic.


Ms. Prada likes to play with tacky elements, mixing them with styles and fabrics that suggest proper old-time couture. That’s been an ongoing Prada story. The spring 2010 collection also had gray floral print mini shifts, jackets with souvenir postcard scenes in blue and purple tones, floaty halter tops, and white stretch cotton T-shirts and briefs worn under jangling layers of hinged clear plastic beads (similar in shape and size to chandelier crystals).



The fabrics and the proportions made the show engaging, but is that what we really expect from Prada? A twist on contemporary street proportions? This collection felt a little incomplete—in concept and variety of shapes. And though raw edges probably seemed compatible with the general, mixed up spirit of the clothes and the bad-girl ponytails, the return of the style disappointed.

not feeling this at all

That's the reason why I love this woman. (Almost) Everything she does is fantastic. Amazing collection!
Loved the print selection... And the shoes are also very interesting.
Prada's sensuality is very intriguing, in a positive way.

 

[sedirea]

This is terrible. I fell asleep half way through it.

Finally! Prada makes pretty clothes again!

It really does look more like a miu miu collection in many ways.. especially the lack of clothing on the bottom half.
what i find amazing about prada collections is that so much can change from one season to the next. it's confusing and sort of incredible at the same time.. it's almost like looking at a completely new designer every time, as though nothing in this world is 'ugly' to Miuccia.. there is no look, no fabric, no proportion that she won't try!

i can't say i love or even really like this.. compared to last spring, for example.. that was a 'wow' collection for me.. i can't relate to this one at all - the beachy prints, the rich, stiff fabrics.. the plastic shoes and tacky sunglasses. What makes me want to be patient with it and try to find meaning in it is the fact that Miuccia always seems so sincere and diligent in her motivations.. it gives me the impression that everything is deliberate, every piece that I think is 'ugly' is there on purpose and supposed to be saying something, and so i want to try to understand it....(though i don't, not at the moment anyway. )

i quite like those last few looks posted, though, in #155.. what are those materials ? i can imagine those transparent pieces looking amazing in print ...
