Hands down, one of the most exciting things about a designer who overlaps between two or more brands is waiting and watching for the differences (if any) that appear in simultaneously debuting collections. For this fashion week, that category landed firmly in the hands of Miuccia Prada — who not only helms the infamous Prada that showed at the beginning of the week, but also Miu Miu, which showed today.
This season, the shows couldn't have been more different while, at the same time, have clear, stylistic influences that melded from one line to the other. Prada's kitschy prints were paired with retro styling for a very girly, "sweet" line.
More after the jump...
On the flip side, the Miu Miu runway showed very similary silhouettes (i.e. bra tops, wrap tops, etc.), which continued the retro feel in a much darker way. Not only was the palette of colors much more somber, but the heavier fabrics and leather accessories also granted a much more dreary side of the looks — but in a good way!
Miuccia was quoted saying that she only had thirteen days to design the whole second line. For how unique and interesting they are, that is pretty impressive!
