It’s weird isn’t it...Nothing groundbreaking but overall the collection felt like a breath of fresh air, after the last season of dark, armor-like pieces.
I loved the breezy, elongated silhouette, starting with the first look on Freja, it brought my memory back to some mid-nineties Prada looks but here they were rebooted and given new life thanks to the exquisite fabric choices.
Still, I sense some urgent work needs to be done on the bag department, not a single style really stood out, many of them were just archive pieces tweaked just so: being Prada, I guess this in an issue.
The clothes were good but what the majority is actually going to buy was boring and disposable...
Finally! A real good and fresh Prada collection!
It’s really a great collection and a great return to form for Miuccia! I love the simplicity and how strong everything is without having to shout about it!
I love the white blouse worn with the blue velvet skirt, all the looks with the knitted polo shirt, the amazing orange coat in twill...
That being said...Is it still styled by Rizzo? This collection gives me huge JWA for Loewe vibes...Particularly the flowy dresses with the hats. They reminds me of the collection with Gisele in the campaign.
And I find the line up and the whole progression of the show so Benjamin Bruno! Did he styled this?
This is the subject of another thread but it's the crucial quandary that all major designers, and no one more so than Miuccia Prada, face sooner or later: they can produce idiosyncratic, envelope-pushing ideas just to a point, after which they somehow have to censor themselves in order to make themselves understood by a global, generic audience and stay competitive in today's market.
And Phoebe, my guess is, left when she felt she had reached that point...
For those wondering, Rizzo is still the stylist.
What happened to him![]()
