MFW: PRADA S/S 2019 READY TO WEAR

You know what to expect when you watch the show by Prada! The innovative approach, the edgy spirit and the modern and to everyone interesting eclecticism. This is something that has made Prada an inventor in the fashion field. And the fact that those design inventions are still in the niche of everyday outfits and style and that oxymoronic symbiosis is something why the collections by Prada are the most anticipated ones because then you know you have had the glimpse into the fashion future and that in the fashion is something that is all about.

The WOW effect this time was on the perfect peek. In the latest Ready To Wear collection for Spring/Summer 2019, Prada has offered a rare polished look with the impeccable cuts and forms. Seems like the initial visual motivation was a modern assertive feminine version of the boy uniform. The first look tells all about that. The midi shorts, the high collar shirt, and even the short hair of the models, all looked very tom-boy alike but in the good Prada mannerism. The conjunction of the sleek and fluid silhouettes was on the same level as the satin textures. Here we could see the lack of the famous prints´ clash. The monochrome and low key approach in the coloristic sense has only accentuated the high classy appearance of the collection.

But there is always something edgy and wild in Prada´s design game. And here there were the tops. The deep cut with the horizontal strap underneath the breasts area just to give this whole light masculine look a huge feminine touch. Here the prints game was more leveled up with the famous Prada lines. And then the mainstream look alike spin-off. The elegant coats, the two-piece ensemble alluring the customized version of the school uniform, the simple white shirt underneath the grey minimalistic sweater on the top of the satin beige skirt. The edgier were definitely the same versions but brought in the chiffon see-through edition. The shorts inspired by the masculine underwear have only undertoned the androgynous nature of the collection.

But then when you think that this could be the direction of this whole show, the epic turning point. The gorgeous and glamorous dresses in black with the midi embellishments shining through, the already mentioned sexy tops paired with the flowy A-skirts with the usual so Prada happy prints mixed with the three-dimensional bows and floral ornaments, the balayage printed pencil skirts or the midi baby doll beauties with the appliques on the white-pink or green satin layout.

This collection was definitely something different when we think about Prada. The absence of the famous eclectic vibe, the mixture of the casual and more refined and simple, almost the minimalistic??  dress-code has shown that Prada is brave not just in the plain design approach but in the philosophy of the fashion. Prada is good not just in the fashion but also in the detecting the more wider social references. And here they were incorporated giving us the pure, "detoxed" and simple version of fashion a.k.a world! Something we all could learn from!

What do you think about this collection? Do you like this more minimalistic Prada design or do you prefer the typical eclectic Prada design?

Thank you for the attention!
