catwalk A/W 2010
review
26 February 2010
After all this talk of Lara Stone and Catherine McNeil heralding the return of the curvy model (ergo; they are just as slim but have a bust), in Prada we have been given a collection to celebrate their form in all its glory. In fact, if you don't have a bust, Prada's Autumn Winter 2010 collection is really not going to work for you, as the flat-chested models at yesterday's show found - unable as they were to show off the dress to its full potential.
With 1960s beehive hair and cats-eyes glasses, Prada's dresses, coats and tops had "underwire" pleats to frame and cup the bust. 1960s references from the full skirts and A-line dresses mixed with a 1970s brown and aubergine scratched-check print. All combined to revisit Miuccia's collections from the 1990s.
Camel PVC coats with fur collars and printed long-sleeved dresses will prove enormously popular, as will the long grey socks for those wanting to buy in to this delightful collection on a budget.
Every woman in the audience looked and lusted after how Stone and a newly curvy Doutzen Kroes wore these clothes and applied it to themselves. Surely that is the ulitmate achievement in fashion design?
