Milan FW Trend Report SS/16 Prada
“In a sense this was a different side to spring’s pink-and-blue girliness, with tailoring again front and center. At the core: A square jacket and slim skirt in neutrals or mannish tweeds, only the skirts got extra panels that flapped in stride and the jackets, thin lines that defined seams and edged collars. Yet lest the message be singular and straightforward, Prada added out-there yokes, overlays of colorful fishnet and spangles with a DIY look that dared the perfect pieces beneath to take themselves too seriously. ” – WWD

INSPIRATION:  “Mrs. Prada had this idea of ‘conservative eccentricity.’ It feels a bit 20s, but a bit 70s when women often had very tough, extreme looks, which makes a very strong statement on the runway. It’s a simple look that screams. First, I cut each of the girls’ bangs to frame their face, so each girl really has her own style. I cut very aggressive bangs on only 5 or 6 of the girls, and it works because part of being a Prada girl is embracing the moment. I used Redken’s hardwear 16 to give some finish and toughness to the bangs, and then used Redken’s forceful 23 hairspray to slick the hair back into a simple ponytail, accentuating the head shape, which adds a sense of ease and boyishness to the finished look.” – Guido, Redken Global Creative Director
