References to a 70s palette, artsy, a bit vintage with a twist\u2026 It was a creational coincidence for Miuccia Prada: \u201cI didn\u2019t want to do the 70s,\u201d she declared backstage of her Milan runway on Sunday night. \u201cBut it came like that, naturally. It was an important period for contesting, for humanity. Which is more than necessary today.\u201d There\u2019s a touch of mastery in this proposition, as is to be expected with Prada. This is the no doubt the irony that was previously missing. Just like she did in the 90s, it\u2019s in decors and kitsch elements that Prada got the prints and lines for next winter\u2019s silhouettes. The decor was from studio Rem Koolhaas and oddly resembled a waiting room, a psychiatrist\u2019s office, or even a psychiatric hospital\u2026 but the discerning eye might also guess a love hotel for philandering couples, with large beds dispersed here and there.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s within this decor that an indifferent mix of women and men went down the runway in clothing worn with a sense of normality. Men are reuniting with ribbed velvet, preferably orange, while women are cozying up in mohair and perched on open-toed shoes worn with socks – introduced by Miuccia Prada herself. \u201cAfter a series of grandiose, complex, exaggerated runways, I felt the need to do the opposite, to be simple, human, modest,\u201d confided stylist Miucci Prada.<\/p>\n
This is one way to throw in nods to the overturning of labels that Prada is such a master of. By searching for a naive complex from the very start, the brand\u2019s creative director has created a collection with pieces each more iconic than the next. Take for instance this coat made like a patchwork of furs, tying around a flattering design with shades that don\u2019t normally go together.<\/p>\n
