Miuccia Prada’s latest collection had little to do with the prevailing fashions for spring: easy dressing in light and airy styles.
Several models tottered and fell on the fish decorated runway, as they slipped out of their ultra-high heeled platform sandals strapped at the ankle. Many finished their catwalk, shoes in hand.
The bra top, an item which could never have shown up at Prada a decade ago, is worn with an off the shoulder jacket and below the knee skirt with lingerie velvet detailing, all in shimmering silk.
The favorite style for the silk reptile and sea shore prints is an overly loose sheath. The nightie dresses come in various fabrics, and are strictly off-white like clothes stashed away in a trunk.
