Milan (AP) – Prada’s The spongy showroom was flooded with bright orange paint on Thursday, exposing women’s collections from cocooning, changing from strict to feminine.
Co-creation Director Miuccia Prada Raf Simons continued his meditation in his uniform, but here he called the women to the wind and paired bright opera gloves with his coveralls.
“We thought a lot about the idea of freedom, the freedom of how you dress,” Simons said behind the scenes.
Prada Toolbox
The runway was therefore a toolbox of elements to construct an individual look, whether it was a gibe of colour and silhouette, or regardless of masculinity or femininity conventions.
“The juxtaposition here becomes an act of creation,” the designer said in the show notes.
The skirt consisted of pink ruffles on the back, gray pleats on the front, black panels on the sides, and multiple panels that could be mixed and layered for a personalized look.
They can be paired with unstructured bralettes floating above the bodice, or with structured folk dirndls layered on an unexpected, bright pink, more strict uniform shirt.
Any combination can be pulled along with a slip-like pina fluff, like a hanging integrated object.
The neat and uniform top is also tucked into a crumpled bubble skirt. And the crumpled bubble skirt acted as a bust under the taffy titty dress of the crazy men era.
Prada said that, as this collection is about “clothes worn now,” it would seem to contradict that claim to identify silhouettes from another era, like a skirt with talent from the 1950s.
Over the runway
The designers became thoughtful about presenting the collection in moments of global tension.
“The world is very hostile right now, but there are many beauty too, and we have to deal with both,” Simons told the journalist.
Front row
K-Pop Boy Band Enhypen K-Pop fans were drawn at the Prada Foundation Show venue. But they were attracting equal attention inside, demanding security to form security around them, just like professional photographers and fashionistas whose smartphones recorded the moment.
Actors Kelly Washington, Sadie Sink, Felicity Jones, singer Nia Smith and American influencer Charlie Damerio also had front row seats on the show.
