PRADA SS14/MFW

In the midst of sugary floral prints and slinky evening dresses, Prada’s SS14 show came like a breath of fresh air. Known for her strong political standpoint, Miuccia Prada had created a collection set to blur the lines between power and femininity. In collaboration with a number of muralists and illustrators, the venue was decorated with bold wall paintings, some of which also had found their way into the collection. Set to music by MIA and Britney Spears, the collection presented a stunning take on riot grrrl feminism. Radiating a sophisticated kick ass attitude, the collection featured beaded bras, sleek dresses, and multicoloured fur coats, matched with tube socks and sporty sandals. Last came a black cocktail dress embellished with a beaded rainbow – a stylish hommage to the LGBT rights movement.
