Miuccia Prada claimed she never watched hit US TV show Mad Men… But looking at the Prada collection with its exaggerated cat’s eye glasses, it has the Betty Draper feeling all over it. The Prada girls are a reincarnation of the 60’s secretary or the very chic librarian with high buns and A-line skirts or dresses. Miuccia Prada explores sexiness by working on low-cuts emphasizing cleavage and celebrating the female figure.
The result is a dark-coloured collection (brown and black mostly), feminine classic shapes and a retro feel. We are quite intrigued by the vinyl coats and skirts, or the chunky socks with patent-leather shoes. When you know the power of Miuccia Prada as a powerful trend-setter, we will probably all be wearing chunky socks with our shoes this winter, and trying to look like Betty Draper.
