On Tuesday, Prada kicked off Milan Fashion Week with a show to remember. Their Spring/Summer 27 collection served as the skirt mood board for the season.
And their emphasis on that one specific classic hyperfeminine trope has everyone talking. There was not a trouser in sight as the show gave us a selection of 63 skirts.
The show opened with a song by Malcolm McLaren, Madam Butterfly, and then out came the first look: a futuristic-looking cigarette skirt paired with a lace bra. After that, we were shown an array of styles from leather to see-through organza to sparkling embellished skirts. Miuccia Prada even took her bow in a skirt.
The colour palette for the SS27 collection favoured vivid colours of yellow, green and pink but counterpaired them with classic greys and blacks.
