Miuccia Prada unleashes her fashion monsters onto the runway during the Prada Fall 2019 Men’s show.
Inspired by horror films such as Frankenstein and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, through her pieces she communicated her view on humanity, especially sensitivity and the search of love.
Despite the heaviness seen through military jackets and tough shoes, there was lightness translated through textured caps and chunky knitwear, as well as humour with Frankenstein’s face printed on women’s skirts and lightning bolts and hearts on men’s shirts.
The elements of science fiction were effortlessly blended with the codes of the house and Miuccia’s unmistakable edge that makes each of her collections feel contemporary and wearable. As we’ve seen at Dolce & Gabbana, tailoring continues to shine through the prints and embellishment, and here she offers neat jackets cinched at the waist with multiple belts and high-waist trousers in grey, khaki and black.
For the girls, she morphed elegant black dresses with modern chunky loafers and sneakers giving the whole look a fresh perspective, perhaps the era of towering heels is no longer appropriate for a modern woman. And it looks like neither is the restricted wardrobe for men with Prada offering everything he could possible need to confidently channel your personality, with a side of monster mash.
