At the shows
Dispatch from Milan: Bananarama at Prada
PRADA Spring 2011. Photography by Peter Stigter
Half the fun and mystery of attending a Prada show is trying to navigate your way to your seat. (This season it was plastic fantastic safety-orange seat covers on plywood bleachers.) The other half is listening to everyone speculate about what Mrs Prada will show (or, immediately after, to try and digest what just whipped down the runway!)
Everyone’s all atwitter trying to put a label on Miuccia’s latest vision but the truth is, call it what you will–Carmen Miranda, ’20s flapper, cartoon characters, Josephine Baker, South American fiesta, bananarama–it was a joyful, super-saturated fiesta complete with creeper wedges, sombreros, delicious little bags and more stripes than a rugby field. A super-size shot of adrenalin!
