The Prada Spring 2013 Collection is yet another showcase of Miuccia Prada's design genius.
For Spring 2013, the Italian house channeled a Japanese muse. The sleek designs were luxuriant in their kimono-like aesthetic and their shining black silk. Throughout the collection careful attention to detail was placed to create a cohesiveness that is unrivaled. Tiny florals, boundary-pushing shoes and avant-garde silhouettes characterized the feel of the Italian fashion house for Spring.
Fashionologie described the models as resembling an "army of robotic geisha dressed in black, satin, and pale pink." These lavish garments were innovative and paired with edgy pixie cuts to go along with their theme. Perhaps the most stunning aspect is the ability of Miuccia Prada to dictate each season and innovate with her design vision.
