Prada S/S 2015 Milan - Reminder, No Model Talk in D&C

[gossiping]

ok i feel the complete opposite to everyone here

miuccia has been making some of her best clothes the last few years and this is horrible. i dont like anything. it looks so old, and NOT expensive or luxury at all.

best prada collection in a while... sure, like everyone's been saying, it's 90s prada... but since the 90s are back in the style, i'd rather have this than the denim monstruosities i've been seeing everywhere else. and the details are to die for

^oh wow,i love that deconstructed muslin

i have to say,for once in a long time i really like a prada collection(the last one was her spring 02).....and it's nice to see a prada that actually looks prada rather than the lesser knowns she's been know to seek out for influence.

My favourite Prada collection in a long time. Yes a lot of the elements were remixed from previous collections, but they all came together so beautifully here. Love the fabrics, prints, distressed quality to the clothes paired with the quintessential Miuccia socks/heels combo.

I felt a certain Baroque element to many of the pieces which I adored. Fave of FW so far !

I love this.

The leather pieces are awesome too.

Besides what Scott mentions about abstaining from taking inspiration from smaller designers this season, I also like how busy and rich this is in a time where everyone is trying to be simple or ultra minimal or too time specific (60s, 90s)... despite all the amount of details going on, I get a relaxed feel from this maybe from the way it was conceived and what she often mentions about playing with what's "ugly" or challenging for her. I like how she keeps broadening expectations and ideas of luxury with the right dose of sense of humor (maybe not always humble) and that, with collections like this, she makes you double look and reconsider notions of taste.

The only downside about a collection like this, coming from her type of company, is that the way it's put out there can't really reflect whatever idea she had when making it (except marketing and design saturation is perfectly proportional you feel like you're in a bad dream), so by the end of the season, sometimes even before it starts especially when it comes to Prada, you're just completely fed up, the humor's dried up and the only place you want to see what was once a fun item and is now a status, seasonal "must-have" like this, is in a dog's mouth. It takes a while before you can tolerate it again.

(Scott, I still want a brocade skirt from that collection! )

Many of shoes remind me of something you'd find in the Lady Miss Kier collection of the early 90s.

Well done, Signora Prada.

Well, this is for me the best collection of the season so far. The cutting is precise and sharp yet it's soft and romantic. Very nostalgic. And the casting is fabulous.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

this morning when i scrolled through this i did not notice the lovely fraying on the brocades… have just looked through hqs and close-ups of the details and i am swayed. it's the deconstruction that makes the collection so much more appealing (and so much more 90s). i still don't love those 70s boxy-cut suits and coats (especially the all-leather ones - the leather midi skirts don't work so well for me either). the sox are awesome, as are the bags, the shoes i could live without, esp those printed boots. but i agree with most people here that it's a great collection, and probably my favourite prada in a while. if you haven't looked at the details, do so… they're very intricate and romantic.

Exquisite garments with intricate details and lovely tailoring. However, nothing and I mean NOTHING can get me to like those shoes and those damn knee socks. Just NO.

Ironically, I loved the leg warmer socks and shoes from Spring 2014. Loved. This season I just can't get into it.

 

[rip_ian curtis]

To me this looks like her mid-2000's work - "the Katie Grand granny years" -, instead of her 90's look.

Also, this reminds me A LOT of Dries van Noten. Actually, this could be a Dries collection from somewhere like 2006.

Miuccia always impressed me.

The best collection of season so far.

Wow... loving the deconstructed approach to finishes and detailing. Very strong offering by Miuccia - will no doubt go down as a highlight of Milan.
