This quintessential Prada collection can be summed up as a curated blend of all the original ideas that Miuccia Prada has been coming up with within the last decade. Japanese-esque folds and tailoring, Art-deco knee high socks, technical black nylon (which made Prada famous), corporate branded belts, and intimidating high heels together repeated throughout the collection. Gray tailored coat-dresses and feathered trims on sheer dresses created modern glamor. The entire feel for the collection was about mixing technicality in synthetic fabrics and glitz by way of embroideries, piette sequins, and strands of beads and chains. Medieval sensibilities came though as well with chain mail inserts and neck pieces. The sneakers, oversized sunglasses, and bulked clutch handbags will be big sellers for Prada's modern clientele. Though Miuccia Prada denies the fact that this is anything different than her regular runway shows, there was an adjusted flow to this collection. More commodity driven, as most Resort and Pre-fall collections are, allowed Prada to explain exactly what will be in store after the Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear pieces make their cycle and what their customers should be buying for their summer vacations next year. And speaking of next year, it will be interesting to see what Spring/Summer 2018 will look like from Miuccia Prada's point of view, after the Fall/Winter 2017 bohemian collection and this resort collection were both successful in terms of presentation.
