Prada S/S 2011

An impressive display of bold colors at Prada. Italian designer Miuccia Prada displayed her version of Latin American luxury that was full of bold colors and amazing fabrics. She referenced the late legendary performers Carmen Miranda and Josephine Baker. Miranda influenced the prints of the monkeys, cherubs and pineapples that she famously wore on her head while performing. The banana prints referenced the trademark skirts that Baker would wear in her cabaret act. The bold colors of orange, hot pink, greens and indigo blue referenced the bright colors from Latin America. Horizontal bold stripes were visible in the tops, skirts, jackets, beach-side totes and fox fur stoles. The nautical stripes and the uniform-like pieces were similar to her recent men's collection that was inspired by uniforms. There was a great selection of ruffled dresses with spaghetti-straps available in black, orange and pink. Plain cotton suits, similar to uniforms, came in bold colors of orange, violet, hot pink and indigo. The Prada look had a straight forward bold attitude with a luxurious quality.

The show was held at the Prada headquarters show space with a metal and steel structure runway that light-up when the show started. American model and Prada exclusive Arizona Muse opened the event in a bright orange cotton uniform suit paired with a dyed green fox tail stole. The plain cotton suits where offered in various bright colors of orange, hot pink, indigo blue, green and bold stripes. The skirts were tight fitting with hemlines to the knee and some pieces had a feminine touch of thick frills at the bottom of the skirts. The fit of the jackets and the tops were incredibly loose and matched the colors of the skirts that they were paired with. The dresses were fitted and offered bold prints and stripes. The cuts and colors of the clothes gave a Caribbean sensation and one might think of Cuba.

Admired pieces were the sun dresses that had plenty of structure with thin straps and a deep v-neck and had frills attached to the hemlines. The fox tail stoles were came in bold colors and stripes were the next spring season must have pieces.

Miuccia Prada displayed her idea of the perfect wardrobe for the unconventional Latin lady going on a holiday. This collection was brilliant with gutsy bold colors and prints from the Jazz era. The Prada women is bold with a great love for Latin America. -Brent Billiman, Milan, Italy.

  1. Having embraced the minimalism trend possible a little too whole-heartedly I'm seriously craving some bold colours back in my life... And Miuccia's brights fit the bill perfectly. It takes a true fashion genius to combine such clashing hues and get it quite so right, but then again, one would expect nothing less from Ms Prada herself. X
