Prada’s first-ever cruise collection show, 2018, at Fondazione Prada’s Observatory in Milan, featured frothy pastel looks as pretty as the pastries in the brand’s Marchesi cafe.
Prada cruise was a play on lightness and industrial architecture, with the femininity of the transparent skirts. Pleated and scalloped lingerie looks were anchored with silver and crystal beading and cinched at the waist with shiny black belts. Necklaces of gold fringe swung at the cleavage while feathers were stuck fetchingly in hair worn in twin braids.
Reflecting the modernist space, Miuccia Prada created deconstructed tops with angular puff sleeves and jagged hoods worn in an open V-neck. Sturdy black miniskirts were layered over sheer fabric were paired with pretty pumps or thick soled sneakers, worn with sheer knee-high socks.
