Pragmatic pieces are given new emphasis and significance, tailoring and perceived uniforms of employ combined with the language of evening clothes. For all genders, elegance becomes a means of celebration, of imparting significance. The body is given emphasis through traditional tailoring, a silhouette then transmuted to everyday garments, the two disciplines not only juxtaposed but brought together as one. Sartorial construction methods are applied to knitwear and bomber jackets for men, to soft dresses for women, to afford new forms.
Elementally Prada, an eccentricity of surface is combined with spare silhouettes. Juxtapositions are made both between garments, and within their construction, combining materializations and decoration. Referent to Prada’s own heritage, geometrics are translated to jacquard knits, embroideries and colors echoed, memories of collections evoked.
