Aggressive and thrilling clothes in Prada

Thanks to the combination of Fashion Week and Oscar, celebrities have faded on Milan's ground, but groups have appeared in Prada such as Galgadot, Maya Hawk, Simone Ashley and Hunter Schaefer.

About a week after she wore a floral Prada sundress for the Independent Spirit Awards, Schafer wore a pink top and a gray brief under a black satin coat. This pointed out that shortly after she posted a video to Tiktok, she just received a new passport identifying her as a man thanks to an executive order from the Trump administration. As a trans woman, she had documented female gender markers since her young teenage years.

“That's not possible,” said Raf Simons, co-creation director at Prada, backstage of Ms Schafer's situation. “But it's happening.”

And it was a question of femininity – part of the reason for what it looks like and what might define it now and in the future instead of the past, and it was a question of the season for Simons and Muccia Prada.

Rather, as Mrs. Prada said behind the scenes, “What kind of femininity can you maintain in this difficult moment?”

We added that we are conditioned to think about the issue in a classic way. This is also a cliché in general. It's about accepting ozempics and corsets and limitations.

But what if they asked, what if you let it all go? What happens if I run screaming in the opposite direction?

A show conceived as a rebuttal to the whole idea of ​​stereotyping women. A man's gaze blows the raspberries away, then turns away for a good measure. To some extent, the exploration of ugability and the imposition of unattainable women's ideals have always been the existential subject of Mrs. Prada's career. Just as the tension between what she is about to choose (political) and the flirtiness of her chosen car (luxurious fashion) drove her designs. And then her behind the scenes conversation.

However, the process rarely appears to be extremely essential. Or, frankly, she and Simmons were trolling the establishment of Miss Universe, testing the limits of Prada's mysticality.

Are these black times? Are you okay. Enter a tiny black dress – Imagine Audrey Hepburn playing a crazy woman in Tiffany's attic, plunge into the technobeat, rats up your hair and stitch out. Then the little black dress could be a loose black schmatta with only ghosts of bows or buttons covered in large fabric. And things may change from there.

There's nothing appropriate at all. The oversized knit that looked like a sweater dress didn't look like a survivalist. Also, the sofa-print Doris Day houseless seemed to have been pulled straight from the love seat. Instead of lingerie dressing, there were wrinkles that were baked along with wrinkled pajamas. Instead of a necklace, a ribbed neckline is covered in gems that appear to have been cut from a well-behaved cardigan. Instead of a large grey overcoat button, a small, rainbow pustula-like cluster of pearls. Their reshaping was more like a bias.

The results were aggressively, thrilling, surprisingly, sleazy (well, a few pieces have to be commercial except for the lush shirring jacket that looks like mink). But that was also intentional. These clothes were attractive, attractive and unwilling to fail. They were trying to force conflict. They aimed to make no one other than the internal body free from all binding forces and please the women who live in that body.

They were definitely not pretty, but they were even more convincing. They were relevant.
