Prada opened its runway show during Milan Fashion Week on Thursday with its take on the little black dress, reflecting what Miuccia Prada called “a very black moment” in world affairs.
Market speculation has focused on the Prada Group, which besides its namesake brand owns Miu Miu, the footwear brands Church's and Car Shoe, and Marchesi 1824 pastry shops.
It’s a mix-and-match world at Prada and just about any of the pieces work as separates: Short-sleeve and tube knitwear tops were bedecked with baubles, like found treasures.
As usual, crowds of fans waited opposite the Fondazione Prada show space to shower adoration on VIPs.
“To work in this difficult moment is really tough,” Prada said backstage.
