Runway: Miuccia's Impossible Dream: PRADA Spring 2013

 

 

While anti-Japan riots continue on intimate terms in China, our queen of fashion Miuccia Prada has accomplished presenting her Spring 2013 Ready-to-wear collection, which extensively contains Japanese-style elements to the world. "Dream is forbidden, nostalgia is forbidden, to be too sweet is not good. Everything we used to feel historically, now you can't enjoy. The clothes are the expression of this impossible dream." Miuccia Prada said so.

A black satin coat, meanwhile, was embroidered with papery origami blossoms. Still, the collection had a spareness that worked like a balm after seasons of endless prints, moving from dark to light.

There was POETRY to the collection, but walking the runway in either towering Harajuku girl platforms or leather judo socks bound with patent leather bows—flats in both cases, Prada pointed out—the models exuded power too. Leave it to Miuccia to tweak nostalgia into something that felt modern and new.
