Prada Spring 2010

Miuc­cia Prada con­tin­ues to play with the con­structs of soci­ety and gen­der with her lat­est spring col­lec­tion. Using the glad­i­a­tor inspired fall col­lec­tion as a jump­ing point, the spring range con­tin­ues in the same vein trad­ing in studs for open meshed net­ting and dar­ing translu­cent fab­rics. Using the gen­eral idea of the city and black and white movies as her cat­a­lyst, the col­lec­tion is rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the net­works we build, break and mend as indi­vid­u­als, effec­tively cre­at­ing tan­gled webs. This idea trans­lates into the work­ing rela­tion­ship between tones of black and gray, as barely there fab­rics fight for face time. Over­all, Prada’s sub­tle pat­terns and mesh knit­ting lends tra­di­tional work­wear a new lease on life by not look­ing out­wards for improve­ment and ful­fill­ment, but instead reveal­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ties that already present.
