Loved the show and the review. My nan would roll in her grave over these cresed up clothes LOL. She taght me how to iron clothes. "No cat eyes, ever", she always said. Clever with the triangle logo placement. The wire in the collar seems interesting. I'm going to experiment with that in my sustainable brand for shirt and jacket collars. I luv shoes! I have 200+ pairs. I have narrow feet (and even more narrow heels), making it harder and harder to find my width at a "sane" price. Love British shoes and they make narrow width. Modelling runway shows is no money if you're not uber famous. I made regular money modelling from being a fit model (modelling for designers and pattern cutters in the atelier) showroom and fashion expo model when I lived in London (even in my 50s, I was totally reliable in comparison to young models.) I used to style models for brands for ecom shoots and they make good per day. The buyout for adverts is good if you have a brilliant agent. Gender discrimation in fashion is prevalent, small bags, no functional pockets (even breast pockets) in jackets/blazers and trousers. And even in sizing. This S-M-L trend in fashion is totally bogus. Copywriting for ecom brands is such bs. I hated it. I was driving since I was 16 and I quit when I didn't have a car in the UK. 40+ yrs of driving. I always hated it, hate traffic. Driving is SO overrated. I did drive on the Autobahn. WHilst working in Germany. (Misconception: it's only in certain strecthes of motoerways, I a tiny Fiat that the company rented. Driving 80km with the steerring whell shaking as Lamos, And Ferraris sped by with the odd idiotdrving 80 in their lane), Here in SOuth Beach tourist hire Lambo left-right-and-center. It's such a joke. Tesla catch ablze with no warning. They aren't produce via true Nikola Tesla technology and intention. Luv Black Mirror best show ever.
On Prada, a few thoughts: 1.) Color: Prada’s use of color is amazing. More so, if you pay a little more attention, color used works for the skin tone of each model. This principle is not something that all brands get. 2.) Clothes: I was very disappointed that commentary section of Prada was spent discussing some Korean ambassador and I’ve noticed this was a trend amongst brands this year. Anyway, it was fantastic that we could discuss the clothes. The idea of ‘closer’ makes me think that there’s a lot more to these clothes than we can only enjoy in person and this collection is bound to sell really well because of that. For example, Those bandanas are trompe l’oile I believe. The closer I look the more I see new things. No item was basic, down to the accessories. 3.) Concept: I was fascinated my the concept here. I thought it was simplistic to consider these as ‘clothes you can get from thrifting or Uniqlo’. Fashion collections are proposals and this was a very compelling proposal. I have always found shorter sleeves to be a bit weird and I never asked myself why? This collection made me ask why? I loved to think that a jacket that I once used for autumn/winter but became too short on the sleeves, only became a jacket that I could use in the spring/summer. Thus I didn’t need to throw it away. Maybe another angle to allow for a lot more sustainable use of clothing. We made oversize ‘cool’. It is fun to see an attempt to make ‘undersized’ cool. People accuse them on trying to save cost on soles or fabric. Possible and was more sole and fabric any better? I’ll admit that not everyone will look great in these clothes but I’m excited to see people get creative and be proven right or wrong. This is a collection that we will surely come back to in the archive of Prada.
Good stream. “Learn fashion at your own pace” i like that. With the speed and accessibility of the internet it feels like if you don’t know every ancient fashion house in addition to all the new niche brands of today you’re not invites to the party haha
My take on the bags. Scale, as another person commented. In addition wealthy women don’t work. Whereas men regardless of whether they’re wealthy or not - tend to work. The space for stuff, pockets. Probably designed to fit work related stuff in. Women’s bags. We need lipstick, wallet, and that’s it
Top SS25 classic collections for me: 1.) Giorgio Armani 2.) Wales Bonner 3.) Lemaire Top conceptual collections: 1.) Prada 2.) Walter Van Bierendonck 3.) Magliano
I wanted Yohji to make the list but it didn’t do it for me this year. We are now in a full Japanese ink-jet print era. Love it for him but doesn’t fit my style
I've said it before and I'll say it again...with Prada, (even before the overrated Raf Simons joined the brand) you always get eleganance with..."something". Meaning, you get WEARABLE clothes that are pushed to the edge of, for lack of a better term, "crazy" or "edgy". This is the perfect blend of commerce and creativity. It's a taste level that has yet to be matched in the fashion world.
I mean barely, she has a few collections here and there and then disappears for a few years which is what has been happening over the past couple of decades.
the reason these brands make a lot of money is cuz men tries to impress women by “buying” their love or by peacocking. and women dress for men. but it all boils down to persuasion.
also...your live stream fans commenting are clueless when it comes to Prada quality...they're just buying the wrong pieces, it's also sexist to NOT give men the "it" bag. Calm the f*&ck down.
congratulations, you hired a Belgian homosexual to design boiler suits for you. like, at that point, you won, girl. you won it all. its just a bit diluted, that's all. but even when diluted it is still one of the most potent fashion brands in the industry. they just need to sort out who's really the top dog there. hopefully muiccia keeps the water bottle sprayer (and the strap-on) nearby in case raf gets a little too ahead of himself.

The thing I liked the most about this collection. It’s all wearable, unique in style and design - and a safe investment . Classics with a twist
I love the change of coloue...suits you so much...
Thanks!

Women’s bags. We need lipstick, wallet, and that’s it

Lol, you have a point.
