Better Late Than Never: Prada Does Punk

With a mix of music from Nirvana, Nina Simone, Lana del Rey and more, Prada's punk women clad in reworked button-downs walked the runway decorated with comic book heroines by women artists. It was punk Miuccia Prada's way, a mix of menswear elements with the lady-like silhouettes, studded belts, shoes and bags slightly reminiscent of your teen years (except they're a little less Hot Topic and a little more Milan) and enamel pendant necklaces rather than pins. The comic heroines were the finishing touch, the radical comic girls blowing bubble gum, wearing devil horns and sunglasses, slapping and hexing. Prada told Sarah Mower of Vogue, “I found it inspiring that with a pencil in your hand, you can tell your life.” Storytelling is what Prada often does with her clothes; The Prada woman is always set against a backdrop that explores various areas, politics, art film and so on. There were several standout pieces throughout the collection, bags with comic girls that exclaimed "Prada", oversized jackets and pieces that mixed media, prints and accents. Expect to see Prada heroine's everywhere.
