For the 2019 Spring/Summer Prada womenswear show, AMO transforms the Deposito, the most dramatic space of the Fondazione Prada complex, into a multifunctional venue for performances.
And what a performance it was. Miuccia Prada showed another intriguing and captivating collection packed with daring cuts and statement accessories.
The designer portrayed various sides to a woman – the preppy student, the athlete, the lady and the temptress – all equally compelling and beautiful in the own right. Out came satin elongated shorts styled with a high neck tops verging on a elevated cycling attire.
Then came the skin baring leotard tops worn with pencil skirts in various neon shades that she mixed in among the girly bell dresses, some in cute pastel pink, others in tough girl leather. The ladylike coats were elegant and beautifully crafted, in particular the quirky printed navy version.
She presented many interpretations of modern femininity ranging from swishing A-line skirts belted at the waist and paired with delicate knits, to transparent dresses revealing tiny shorts underneath.
Bags were splashed with tie dye colours, while others mixed a classic shape with embellishment and hardware – beauty meets power. However, it’s the sheer knee high socks and headbands worn on most the models that had the fashion crowd reaching for their phones. The combination of both seems to capture the Prada woman perfectly as someone who embraces her femininity with great strength and sensuality.
Is there anything Miuccia Prada can’t make desirable?
