Milan Spring 2010: Prada




Although this collection has not garnered unreserved praise, I really like it. It's Miuccia Prada's minimalist, back-to-basics, clean slate collection, and a true vintage season. All the Prada hallmarks are here, and beautifully shorn of all excess. It's as if Mrs Prada has laid bare the foundation stones of her house, the (familiar) building blocks of her work, her themes, all reduced, made plain without embellishment. It's a spare elegance, not exciting, but sublime.
