There was a little bit of a web-based brouhaha concerning the skinny silhouettes at Prada menswear AW26 yesterday, however since we’ve had years of outsized slouch, I feel we must always give Miuccia and Raf a go this time. As a naturally petite girl, I liked it and I’m prepared for a slimmer silhouette.
On to the main points. It felt romantic and Dickensian with its slimline tailor-made coats and their excessive pocket placement. (I do love a hands-in-pocket gesture – let’s put the rattling telephones away!). The (stained) starched French cuffs peeking out – some with cufflinks – was a genius contact that anybody can steal.
The cagoule capelets have been enjoyable, as have been the creased raincoats and matching hats – there’s at all times one thing poetic about how these hats body and shield the face with slightly little bit of an Audrey Hepburn fragility. (Sidenote: I’d like to see this assortment photographed by Paolo Roversi.)
Word the skinny belts on the coats too. Belts are a present obsession and I additionally just like the extra-long trouser belt particulars. Aside from Auralee, I haven’t come throughout many extra-long skinny belts – perhaps their time has come. Somebody made the purpose that a number of the curiosity of this assortment was within the again views. Aside from the lovable hats on the backs of the coats, I appreciated the glimpse of leathergoods in again pockets. Strictly talking, cumbersome leathergoods do not belong in tailor-made pockets, however as a gesture and a commentary (on the tactility of a human transaction!), I’m pleased to present them a go too.
