The Sartorialist

I LOVE the shoes and the vibrant colours, this collection is very innovative compared to what I've recently seen on the catwalk :)

For me, the dress in picture no.5 is my favourite, but I wasn't quite sure what to make of the shapes and prints on some of the pieces. It will be interesting to see how the collection develops in print campaigns and editorials.

Love this show. Most especially the bright color combos and the lace-up tri-layer platform shoes.
Delightful.

I'm blown away by extravagant warm and cool colors!

first

I am in love with this collection!
The colours are sensational..
It's so much better comparing last year's collection.
Love it!
LOx

Love the shoes!!

Wow. the shoes/colours are amazing!!!

beautiful color and patterns!! It's fun to see all the stripes line-up in the last image!

Shoes (ignore the 1st photo) and leather work for me. Otherwise, colorful inmates.

I'm digging the colorful stripes. A bold move from the simply black/white, red/white, blue/white.

God bless Miuccia and her eye for color and print!

Love seeing the final runway – a walking rainbow. But some of those silhouttes are just not flattering. I agree with a post above – how will this collection work in real life? Some pretty dresses and shoes though. That first outfit looked like something from the movie "Brazil!"

fab colours!

NUTS! Who would really want to wear this? Yikes – horizontal stripes in neons?

These prints are really original and inspiring.I just got tickets for an amazing fashion forum in NY on Oct 8th! I thought I should share because I believe it could help people like me trying to meet fashion professionals and learn about the newest trends in our industry! ♥

awesome! i love the patterns and the colorful stripes deff futuristic, could possibly be our future fashion ??

Now that's some color! I love the colorful creepers…never seen any like that before, very cool.

Banana shirt :D Immediately remembered banana shoes and a clutch from your recent picture. Nice, makes me smile :) Love the dress from the 2nd photo.

Trying too hard!!! I always try to get a couple of Prada outfits a season, but I know I will pass this spring!!!
will maybe go a pair of fun bright shoes though

Woah! Clothes on an acid trip!

I'm not too sure they work though. Perhaps in measured doses mixed into a more austere wadrobe!

Prada never ceases to amaze me!

I'm surprised by how much I like the colors; I think it's their high level of saturation & combination with lots of black–whatever it is, they look delicious, not garish. Love the shoes in the first photo, too. But those boxy Hawaiian shirts are a bad, bad idea. I love oversized, but these, like the Saunders shirts, look oddly stiff and awkward. Maybe paired with narrow jeans after a few dozen washes and dryings…

What wonderful use of color. Let's hope this one hits the streets. The all back look is due for a breather, I think.

very striking.

love the weird platform sneakers.

Seriously…??? No thank you.

colorful. but that's all…

I'm blown away by extravagant warm and cool colors!

shoes… shoes… shoes…

It is very Prada..and outrageous!

Usually I'm not a fan of color, but this was great!

sandwiched platform soles?? barroc monkeys??banana shapeless shirt??
I wonder what it would be the editors' reaction if any other less known designar had put the same absurdity on the catwalk.
It looks like one of those proyect runaway gone really wrong..

I really like her take on stripes and Hawaiian prints.

I'm perplexed about this catwalk…

Love the colour, and the stripe-and-print combinations remind me of Italian street fashion of the 80s – Enrico Coveri, Fiorucci, Byblos. It's wonderful to see colour – summer is coming to the Southern hemisphere and this is inspiring and fresh. BUT, the girls look particularly hideous and theatrical. Yes yes, I know it's a show, but why do they have to look so ugly? Some of them actually look quite sheepish – no doubt because they know how silly they look. Interesting that the fabrics have been printed in such a way that the back side is white – makes me think that they are all quite crisp and heavy. Unusual, in that this is traditionally the cheap and cheerful way of printing fabric, and not sophisticated at all.

I love the colours, like most of the comments above, but I'm really not sure about the boxy shape of the shirts. But perhaps my eye just needs time to adjust–it's funny how some things/clothes/shoes make you go "yuk!" the first time you see them, but twelve months later they're all you want! (Is this the biggest sign of a fashion victim?)

At the moment I love the fitted flouncy dress the most.

Along with Paul Smith of London, this is my favorite SpringSummer collection – both just GORGEOUS!

so…..stripes are in? :) LOVE LOVE IT

Finally som colour in our lives! I like the modern African vibes.

Teh first print is amazing…Prada is unqiue and till Miuccia'll follow her minds the brand will be succesfull!!

I am a big fan of stripes, this is interesting

Shoes and glasses are interesting! but I don't like this collection…….:(

The prints are too eye-popping for my liking, but the clothing looks very comfortable.

These looks feel truly fresh and new. And the sunnies in the first photo are so cool.

most of people here just "liked" it because is Prada…
if was "Mary Nobody" people would laugh..

I'm laughing – what ill fitting, dowdy lines. And all those colours together- Yuck.

I LOVE the last photo, with the stripes and shoes all heading down teh runway.

the colors are amazing!

the-stylish-citizen.com

love love love! I would love to wear every single piece!

Although the combination of colors and design is not to my liking…I love the palette that is presented here. My fave I think is the Orange & Blue combination on Freja Beha in the first photo.

colourfull :) Looks stunning
But I hate these platform shoes.The dresses are the best

Marimekko

I just love this collection, the colors, the fit, the Sonia Rykiel air and the shoes. I'm even a fan of the ridiculous striped tails!!!

Great fashion show! Love the colour palette. I saw you yesterday out of the D&g's fashion show :)
Chiara

amazing colors!!!

Chiming in a bit late…but OMFG I looove this!

because if there is ONE ITEM that EVERY WOMAN need in summer then it is a fur stole…

Yes, a fur stole makes sense.

If you're going to wear beach wear in the fall.

Is it just me, or do the some of the shoes in this show have a kind of 30s pinup look to them?

I agree with Barbara about the white underside of the printed fabric,

"Interesting that the fabrics have been printed in such a way that the back side is white – makes me think that they are all quite crisp and heavy. Unusual, in that this is traditionally the cheap and cheerful way of printing fabric, and not sophisticated at all."

I wish the flounces on the bottoms of the skirts were at least lined in black or a contrasting color..they look like cheap computer-printed stiff fabrics. I do like the digital-esque prints, but too bad they look unfinished…

nice umpalumpa glasses, respect

Thumbs down. Yes, they're visually interesting and eye catching but really, it's hard to imagine toned down versions of these outfits being worn to work or dinner.

Oooh!
Elton John and Jimmy Buffett fusion with an ironic nod to the nautical! Good anti-war antidote!

am i the only one who starts to think about johnny depp as willy wonka in the first picture?
absolutely love the orange and black outfit. and the shoes<3 perfect

Like some fellow fashion person once said on a style.com-video: "Miuccia has got such a high taste level, she's up there all by herself."

I wouldn't fully agree to that, as there are so many other designers who do great things, but she knows how to impress and set trends every single season – we'll be seeing many of these clothes in editorials over and over and over again – can't wait!

The models look like they are made of plastic!

This is what Miuccia does best –design clothes and use fabric that when someone wears it, even from a mile away, you can unmistakably identify that it is, and can only be: PRADA.

I went ape shit on this collection.

wow the colour is breathtaking! but not overwhelmed :)

Very Sonia Rykiel.

innovative!

color and stripes and fancy, floral shoes.

It’s just the worse collection by Prada. I hate the creepers, the sunglasses, dresses cut! OMG very bad, AWEFUL!
