Runway S/S20

KOOKY CUTTER
PRADA
IT’S OFFICIAL: le geek, c’est chic. Haute nerds
aren’t joiners – they’re delightfully idiosyncratic
outliers – but if they were, Prada is the cult they’d
join. Eternally kooky, brimming with nostalgia
and always addled with irreverence, it’s the brand
that celebrates the individual. And this season
more than ever, Miuccia Prada’s directive was
about honing your personal style to reduce
throwaway fashion. The result was a joyfully
eclectic mélange of textures (think cheesecloth,
macramé and velvet) and colours (there were
strong nods to the ’70s in the retro palette of
browns, blues and tangerines). Over on hair,
Guido for Redken was also celebrating the
individual. “There’s a hint of strangeness to the
look which is classic Prada. I added sideburns to
each model to add a little boyishness,” he said.
“There’s a touch of uniformity while still allowing
each model’s personality to shine.”
