The best thing about a Miu Miu show is that you never know what you’re about to see. Mrs. Prada has been leading the fashion charge for decades now, constantly putting clothing and accessories and interesting style choices on the runway that no one else is touching out of fear of them not being beautiful enough. And yet somehow, even if it seems off at the time, they all eventually come around. By then of course, when her weird almost-ugly vision is trending everywhere, Mrs. Prada is onto the next thing.
This season there was no shortage of things that may give someone pause. There were fedoras, zig zag headbands, garden clogs, opera-length mittens. Sure, there were mini dresses and sheer tops, but the clothing wasn’t particularly sexy. At least to the plain eye. This season, Mrs. Prada was interested in exploring intimacy in a different way. It wasn’t about showing skin but about the ways in which our clothes hug our body with tender love and care.
Fedora Flashback
Last season, Mrs. Prada was responsible for the sudden interest in apron dresses, with a collection inspired by working women and finding glamour in their uniforms. This season, she may just do the impossible and make fedoras trend again. Models wore them on the very top of their head, so that they tilted almost comically so, with a slant that seemed to defy gravity but didn’t. The effect was purposeful, as Mrs. Prada opened her show notes titled ‘Mindful Intimacy’ with, “The smallness of our human bodies, in the vastness of our world.”
