The shapes were all about big bosoms, nipped waists, and full skirts, making one wonder if the reigning queen of teenage catwalk waifs has finally embraced a womanlier figure?
Black, burgundy, tan, and hints of blue punctuated full wool dresses, naughty leather skirts, and supple knitwear. A fabulous boxed pattern ran throughout, sometimes paired with dresses with ruffled busts on what will undoubtedly be the season’s chicest.
Knit coats had leather and fur collars. Pants were cropped to Audrey Hepburn shortness. Chunky knee-high socks lead the eye to proper, bow-tied slingbacks.
Prada is undeniably at the forefront of fashion and this showing certainly solidified that. As many designers are returning to the core of their brand, Prada does it with mastery, ease, and unpretentiousness.
This collection will definitely be a commercial—and editorial—success.
