WE CAN BE HEROES<br />
PRADA<br />
COMIC BOOKS and fashion aren’t the most<br />
natural bedfellows, but when sartorial genius<br />
Miuccia Prada is involved you can bet the result<br />
will be Marvel-lous. Inspired by comic book<br />
heroines – “from good ones to bad ones, the<br />
beautiful and not-so-beautiful” – the collection<br />
took on a similarly eclectic feel, mixing decades<br />
and tribes. From ’80s-inspired, oversized blazers<br />
and punky T-shirts to rockabilly dresses and<br />
comic book printed coats and shirts, each<br />
look had a slightly boyish feel to it, ramping up<br />
Miuccia’s notion of ‘feminine strength’. Tomboys<br />
were also in force backstage, with Guido’s<br />
masculine ponytails complete with sideburns.<br />
“We were looking at animation, how it shows<br />
wispy and shorter pieces around the ear. It should<br />
feel boyish and the cut around the ears instantly<br />
gives hair a tomboy quality,” he explained. Kapow!<br />
