“Given the strangeness of this time, it helped that the clothes had a human scale and feeling. The collection really sets the bar high for the rest of industry,” writes CathyHoryn
Photo: Courtesy of Prada A question hovering over the fashion industry for months is whether by bringing Raf Simons on as co-creative director, Miuccia Prada could advance the story of Prada. The question goes far beyond the fortunes of Prada, which, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, saw revenue declines for a number of years. It matters to the industry as a whole.
The collection was about uniforms — that was obvious from the outset, from the repeated use of plain shell tops with matching trousers and sling-back, kitten-heel shoes, and the many versions of airy coats clutched at the front by the models, or wraps in all kinds of fabrics, including taffeta and regenerated nylon. What I loved most about the collection was the sense of community that Simons and Prada imparted — the community of fashion, past and present.
I felt that Prada and Simons were talking to the audiences that have followed them individually for years, in a language they probably alone understand — like a treasure hunt for the true fans. The full skirts worn with thick, tucked-in sweaters seemed a reference to Prada’s personal style. The jersey turtleneck tops layered under the sweater are a favorite Simons’s effect.
