Prada Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Milan

Animal prints, studs, pins and manga illustrations (by contemporary as well as 30’s and 60’s artists) found each other on Miuccia Prada’s latest designs. The ultimate mash-up of all things fun and rebellious. The girls wearing them appeared tough and empowered. “I am suggesting militant women in a very practical way”, Prada stated backstage. Dressed in pencil skirts, sleeveless shirts, shorts and trench coats, shirt dresses (worn over pants), knee socks, (perfectly tailored) woolen coats (yep, for summer) and corset-y tops complete with pointy collars, multiple belts and studded sandals her models spoke of girl power and feminism. A clear message that speaks louder than any (perhaps disappointing) Prada sales report.
