Prada SS19: transparent fabrics, deep sexy necklines and Twiggy-style models
Milan Fashion Week welcomed the deluxe Prada brand! The brand chiefly presented fashion in a sporting spirit in its SS19 collection, but there was also no lack of stylish elegance. This fashion is intended especially for modern women, who want to stand out on the street.

Short hair, distinctive eyelashes and decorative hairbands or hats
The Prada-style show in Milan was full of many surprises. One of these was that the concrete floor was completely covered in plastic and the spectators didn’t sit on classic chairs, but on inflatable cubes. The show was unusual and novel as a result.
Models, who all had the same appearance - short hair and make-up in the style of famous model Twiggy from the nineteen sixties – started to appear on the “runway”. Their look was also beautifully complemented by decorated headbands and hats.
Sporting fashion needs to be more feminine
In recent years the deluxe Prada House of Fashion has presented collections in a sporting style to the fashion world and this also applies to the SS19 collection. Is Prada responding to the wishes of its customers and betting on useful and wearable fashion? However, we must say that the entire collection is lacking femininity, which is a big minus.
Silhouettes focus on loose oversize models and not even the deeper deluxe necklines, which give lovely glimpses of the décolletage, helped. The deluxe sequinned dress and also the transparent fabrics, which look sensational as a second layer over other materials, helped make the collection a little more feminine.
Socks in asexual sandals
The deluxe shoes from the Prada collection remind us of fashion from the nineteen sixties or from some sci-fi film. They are certainly not deluxe shoes, but rather unusual models. Various straps, unusually shaped heels, nylon socks in extravagant sandals: we don't think that many women would wear these. But it is difficult to say. If something becomes a “must have” item, it doesn’t matter how weird it looks, as long as it is trendy.

Tops with enormously deep necklines YES, nylon knee socks NO!
Prada really surprised me this time with its unusual sense for the feminine. And maybe I would choose an item or two for my wardrobe. If fashion houses like Gucci, Fendi and Christian Dior went bankrupt of course.
The biggest surprise is certainly the varicoloured clinging tops with enormously deep necklines. Quite a shock for a brand that has leant towards covering up women up in all sorts of frocks that the average four-member family could hide under in recent years......In my opinion the best of these items is the dark blue version with the red pattern, which also incudes a cute sixties-style beret. A Lolita-like style that encourages excessive imagination.
But I would certainly outlaw the nylon knee socks. I absolutely don’t understand what these are doing in the fashion industry. Not even in cases when this type of nylon sock is hidden under trousers. Basically a first-class asexual element! All that is missing is the hairy lady’s knees showing at the top and that would be the kiss of death.
