Even the more staid looks betrayed glimpses of wonderfully creative chaos. The opener, a straightforward floral sundress, had exaggerated, prehensile straps and intentionally askew hems. An argyle sweater was paired with one of those metal-dripping skirts. But as always, the collection was modular: there were plenty of perfect, classic pieces on hand for the more risk-averse among us.
Prada's Bold Accessories
Prada always sets the accessories tone, and this season was no different. Get ready for exaggerated, bug-eyed sunglasses, quirky visor-hat hybrids, and belts with metallic accents worn with low-rise looks. And, since the house is known for impacting silhouettes across the industry, it was interesting to see the tights-as-pants agenda re-emerge. Could this be the end of the wide-leg era?
