Men's Fall 2010: Prada

This is Prada's Uniqlo collection.

Clicking through the looks, I'm struck with how immediately accessible everything looks, and how blurred the lines are now between 'designer' lines and high street lines. Is this the new stealth luxe? You want those abbreviated jumpers in every in every colour don't you, just like they display it in Uniqlo? But it's important to note who the author of these looks is. Mrs Prada, one of fashion's forward thinkers, never simply puts on her 'commercial' hat: The very idea of this 'Uniqlo Collection' is thought-provoking, and makes one think harder about the meaning of fashion as we know it.

It's been commented upon that the clothes are very young - I would say that it isn't the extreme youth of the clothes that is startling (even though some of the exits seem to be designed for pre-school boys - but we've gone down that road before) but the idea that they are actually deliciously genderless. They are men's styles which a girl could wear: Chop of the models' heads and replace with the heads of Stella Tennant, Kristen Owen or Cecilia Chancellor and the clothes would make perfect sense. Love it, love it.
