Milan Fashion Week S/S 10: Prada
Miuccia Prada has always been one of my favourite designers, so I was anticipating this show as well as Miu Miu. This collection excited me throughout and had some very inspirational pieces. The slate almost metallic greys were a bold and strong colour and were excellently tailored, these were reworked as they were cut in the shorts and jackets. This had a good effect as they were just starting to fray but looked clean as if they were cut moments before coming on to the catwalk. The shorts looked like smart, tailored trousers that had been cut to create city shorts. The models pouting, red lips and bed-head pigtails added some fun and subtle sexiness to the show. I loved the criss-crossed tops which sparkled. The floral prints in the dresses and coats had an almost digital effect as did the amazing tropical prints. The tropical prints were the highlight of the show for me as they looked like holiday pictures and while they did include the stereotypical beach, clouds and palm tree scene, I loved that you could see people sunbathing and it was literally like peeping into an unblemished postcard. There might not have been a bright or summery colour palette used in the collection but I was definately reminiscing about Summer after seeing those prints.
