Miuccia Prada's new collection is synonymous with the key feature of this season, which is knitwear. That's not to say that there aren't other interesting aspects of design as well, ranging from some amusingly quirky headgear that definitely isn't standard issue on the high street to some innovative, dual-color designs for coats, but it's the knitwear that absolutely dominates here, helped by such unusual touches as a coat trimmed with fur and even some very skinny tops. As ever, the primary colors tend to be dark and bold, but there are also some amusingly multichromatic touches that show that Prada's sense of humour has not deserted her.
It's never a bad thing for a man to carry a handbag – at least, not according to Miuccia Prada who gave them plenty to carry on this Milan catwalk. Universally recognised as the woman who sets the fashion standard each season, this time she has put black firmly back in the picture – albeit with this dégradé effect leading to grey and white on the shoulders of overcoats or even on smartly shiny shoes. On the day that her husband, Prada boss Patrizio Bertelli, told the world that the company could go public as early as next year, it wasn't all serious business, though. Bulging mohair sweaters and two-tone skull caps in jockeys' colors lightened the mood, while fake fur overlays on the shoulders of the house signature sheeny coats put the Prada boys “in da gang”.
