Prada Gets Milan Off To A Serious Bang!

In a deliberately dowdy, retro, cool-bizarre sort of way, of course. Picture the wardrobe of a fabulous bohemian faculty wife circa ’59 who dabbles in pottery. And if like, ahem, some of us, that sounds amazing, you’re in luck!

As always with Prada, severity mixed with playfulness.

This retro-modern print was a – dare I say it? – leitmotif.

The coats were like something you’d find in the awesome Helsinki thrift shop of your dreams.

As if this were not terrific enough, this model is wearing specs.

This 50s silhouette is going to be such a welcome, cool red carpet addition. Thank you.

Oh, Miuccia, you naughty scamp!

And I am going to have to break my principled fast fashion ban in order to snatch this from whoever knocks this off first.

This particular kind of bizarre – vintage ski silhouette, + vinyl – could really only be Prada.

Or, for that matter, granny cardi + vinyl.
