The show, entirely dedicated to office wear, served as a stage for a new proposal of statement accessories. Large chain belts dominated the scene on knitwear and pants without loops, an accessory created by giant metal triangles that, as the models moved, created an optical illusion bringing more movement at waist level. The ties, thin strips of satin, distracted from the mundanity of Prada’s new silhouettes, a phenomenon of contrasts between oversized English tweed jackets and enveloping trenches that almost formed cylindrical shapes.
As usual, according to the Prada and Simons lexicon, the show transformed the looks of those who usually don’t talk about fashion during coffee breaks into a surgical operation of surprising combinations.
