She remains the greateat in Milano, as always.

SS2010 menswear is pretty much done in Milano, I have to say Prada is the best, IMO. Garments are made in shades of grey. By layering familiar patterns that Prada male customers always go back to, coats are tailored in round shoulders, shirt with digital abstract patterns, blazer are held by 2-buttoned (either placed vertically or horizontally), and trousers that are cut razor sharp straight, last but not least, cardigan as always. Be it perforated or meshed, everything is done in Prada’s unique modern way. These are one of a kind sensibility of fashion (a word perhaps she doesn’t like). Friendly and wearable, yet still, never short of Prada’s subversive sexiness.

I love the change without OTT intellectual drama this time. It’s a shift. It’s an evolution. It shows a good balance between fashion and commerce. For some reasons, this show reminds me of Hedi Slimane’s YSL a little. Read what Suzy Menkes says.
