I remember I was disappointed by the ss2020 collection back then.. little did I know

This is lacking vision and cohesiveness on a whole new level ... it's sad really!

That’s so true. I love some of the ideas that they put in the collection (the sheer, for instance), but it’s a total mess! So many concepts, so many ideas that were not developed at all… Before, Prada was known for exactly the opposite, for developing ideas to perfection and sending a coherent and strong message… 2005-2010 collections are the best examples.

This is a mess and some of it screams cheap. I don’t know what’s wrong with Miuccia, maybe she doesn’t even care at this point.

Raf was a success in terms of business because it brought hype to the brand, but for the real Prada followers he must be a nightmare. He is so passé and out of touch… so heavy handed, so vulgar, so not modern.

I could never stand him but his Jil Sander was not bad. I just don’t get what happened at Dior, then CK, then Prada.

Okay so just saw an interview and they say there were inspired in algorithms, that’s why it’s so random… That these days we receive so many information that they wanted to reflect that in the show instead of having 4 classic themes. Still…

I’m shocked by HOW BAD it looks in video!!!

It may be largely due to the sheer volume of archival references, but nonetheless this collection created the most visceral reaction I've had to a Prada show since pre-Raf, and it's probably my favourite since FW 2017. I don't think it's "good", but it doesn't leave me completely cold like the majority of the last ten or so collections. It made me laugh, and it made me remember why I love Miuccia and Prada so much.

Bye Raf, you'll be in a better place creating polos for Fred Perry

Such bs. It's the same as so many contemporary movie and tv directors now putting out work that's just a "commentary" on x, y or z. Ok cool. Thanks. Wow. I didn't know that we are influenced by algorithms, this fashion show really opened my eyes to that. We pretty much know what's going on.

What's the point? What's the story? What's the why?

Wow that was actually really sad to watch ...

these fools wouldn't know what an algorithm is even if it slapped them in the face.

The dehumanizing headpieces
Those vulgar hole-y skirts
The models' lack of makeup & hairstyling
The stupid belt skirts that remind me of what women had to wear under their skirts before adhesive pads were invented:


maybe i'm being overdramatic over a fashion collection, but the whole thing seems like part of some organized effort to demoralize the modern woman

raf hates women.

They basically mean that anything goes and everything must go. It's all tacky, clownish, wannabe futuristic. Good for their basic kpop ambassadors.

I hate the word sublime because of him from Dior and I. THANKS RAFT.

I was expecting JW Anderson next to Prada at the end.

I think Prada with Raf has become like Balenciaga under Demna (or JW Anderson in his own brand or at Loewe) :it is not about making ugly things look chic anymore, it´s just pure trolling! It feels like they are making bets to show the most lazy and uninteresting collection each season.

 

[ecnerretneerg]

Windbreakers should never be paired with evening gowns...mmmmmm this is not new for the brand ...if its one brand that mix sports activewear shapes or materials with lady like couture/rtw is Prada.

You’re right, and liked it theoretically. It kind of looked like twisted Courreges but it just wasn’t executed well imo.

 

[THD96]

The only thing that's on my mind is please keep whatever the hell these are far far away from Miu Miu. That seems like the only brand where I can enjoy my Miuccia nowadays.

I had some time to digest this terrible undercooked dish muccia and raf plated for us.
And I can’t stomach it.

We’re looking at a flat image of Prada isms and archives. Flat in a literal sense. But also flat culturally. I imagine swift discussions between muccia and raf to come to this lazy excursion in design. The imprints of movement have been done by demna, with more succes and conviction. The imagery of belts and wool are margiela through and through and render pradas charm flat and soulless. The re edition of the iconic shoes only remind us that the outfit and top is severely lacking.

What a tragic and cynical collection this is. I feel bad for raf, he’s a great designer and I hear he’s really passionate about art, at this point he should step away from this, because he’s clearly sucking the life out of it.

This was clearly a Raf experiment on AI generated looks/collection, the algorithm clearly mixed with obvious Pierre Cardin 60's references, I don't know how to feel about these statements, it's confusing somehow, but makes sense in this day and age. It's grown on me. Especially that black feathered dress and the Courrèges silver leather pieces with large holes! I want to see some details, especially those random past season shoe choices up close.

SHOW NOTES :

“Today is a period of endless information, driven by algorithms where each person sees their own version of the present, their own reality curated for them,” Miuccia Prada in the notes said.

“We exist in an era of extreme information, immersed in a constant stream of content. Our consumption of the infinite panorama offered by the Internet is driven by algorithms, finite sequences of instructions that circumscribe the decidable through logic in a fundamentally illogical world,” read the show notes. “If that interpretation posits an architecture of understanding, in contrast humanity can be defined by its unpredictability, a rejection of the derivative and expected.”

“There is a plurality of Prada, elements from different eras coexisting simultaneously to challenge any theory of chronology, creating impossible contradictions, points of difference,” the show notes continue. “Infinite options proffer infinite opportunities. Chance is presented as an expression of free will, the unanticipated something only possible through human intervention, invention and choice that cannot be replicated.”

Aka: we got lazy and dug into the archives

Ugly Chic on level 100 I loved it. I think the message is to mix it up and play around for spring. In the stores as items I think these are going to be hits

 

[tourbillions]

theres a way to make pretty ugly still look finished and polished... lv did it already in their recent shanghai collection... did prada really need to try their hands on it
