This could be nice for a GUCCI by AM campaign shot by Glen Luchford, but this is PRADA, we probably gonna suffer Willy lifeless photography again

I just noticed now how similar the music was to the Fall 2009 collection.

Oh! the references and inspiration has a big energy
I saw these pictures and my mind and heart were bumping
Why couldn't the show channel that energy? Why can't two brilliant minds do something fabulous with all that archival material? And that catwalk looks like those stores where they sell second-hand clothes for a dollar a kilogram.
The good thing about it is that I am turning to the sixties and that overwhelming spirit fo inspiration.
I guess today's designers live with fear, pressure and with their hands tied to be free and a little crazy.

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

Its a choice not lack of it ...if you hear her backstage interview or read the reviews it was a deliberate choice to give multiple options she is aloud to break her own rules or ideas of vision or cohesiveness, that's the whole way of prada every thing she does is to move on from what she did before or revisit in a new way.

People are scared to be individual any more it's the right time to do something more chaotic and seemling random with all the AI and algortim pre set choices etc it makes sense to celebrate human side of un cohesiveness and unpredictable.

Sad is that we tlife in a society that thinks that individuality is less valuable now .

I was thinking, the algorithm is not supposed to show you the things you like (similar ones) and not too different ones?

My Instagram is all about fashion and my friends’ all about football… I don’t know 🙄

Also, I feel like with social media we are more similar than ever… I actually feel the opposite of Miuccia. Everybody goes, does, drinks, eats, wears the same places, the same things, the same restaurants, the same garments…

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

it's prada territory so why not ? i like LV by NG but this i feel is more wearable and reality of it feels more fresh

Well, that was a hot mess... These troubadour leggings in flashy colours were really awful, and the sun hats/ fly eye sunglasses plain ridiculous. But a lot of the separates are actually better than what we got used to expect from them. Some beautiful knee-length skirts, coats, shirts,... It feels like a (partial) return to form, back the quirky Milanese bourgeoise that has always been the essential Prada woman, and that somehow got lost into the often dumbfounding mix of their styles. I also wonder what the hell happened to the Jil-era Raf, who used to make some really wonderful and elegant clothes?

He never existed. It was the magic of Patrick van Ommeslaeghe.

 

[Avonlea]

Oh please, Miuccia and her pretentious show notes. Just design a good collection and stop with the philosophical farts.

 

[lhhbl]

wtf was that opening look and model?
this is ALL bad (except the bags which I quite liked).

 

[FashionPower]

Offensive show, those huge shades and the avant garde Cardin x Courreges headpieces / shades looked like a reject from Ghesquiere's worst 80's disco nightmare shows.

 

[IsabelMarantBoy]

That sadly makes so much sense. I have always been in love with his early Jil Sander days, especially FW/07 and S/S09.

I had high hopes he could bring some of that glacial minimalism to his work at Prada (or even his CK days), but oh well

I will say though, I do love that green fur trimmed housecoat! Give me that with some kitten heels and chandelier earrings

 

[jeanclaude]

So the collection was inspired by algorithms? Well, it looks instead like it was inspired by malware and a virus hacking Prada, in order to create this mess!

 

[tourbillions]

can we just go back to the cars collection or maybe the flowers one. I wont be surprised if Gen Z's only know Prada as a boots with mini wallets seller.

I loved the gold one and the guipure 🥺 or fall 07, that was to cry for

I really miss that kind of boldness. For me, her 2002-2009 years were the best. After 2010 everything went downhill.

Agree. For me, Prada Spring 2013 was the last great, memorable show.

Ever since then, she kind of lost it. Was that when she lost Manuela? After Spring 2013, she couldn't get herself out of the cartoony aesthetic that was such a hit in the monkeys and bananas show. It worked for a little bit after with the cars show and the spring Japanese flower show, but it got totally played out at the sporty street art show. It was unbearable by the comic strip collection.

Then Raf came along.

 

[nationalsalt]

To be fair Spring 2011 was pretty memorable, for the wedge espadrilles if nothing else. But Fall 2007 will always be my favourite too. Alas...

I've sometimes wondered if I'm simply looking back at the mid-2000s - early-2010s collections I "grew up with" in my formative years of becoming interested in fashion with rose-tinted glasses, because I've often thought the same. I'm glad (/sad) to know others agree. That period really was the best!

Ever since then, the collections have looked so much less distinct from one another; they really just blur into one. Such a shame.

I don’t think that’s the main reason though. I really believe the world of fashion peaked at that time. It was before the social networks. Everything was more… elevated. Talent was valuable. They still did shows/garments for the sake of beauty (Theyskens) and real experimentation (Ghesquière). It was made for a few connoisseurs. After 2010 that luxury really exploded and became show business.
