“We can be strong and feminine at the same time.” That one line from Miuccia Prada explains the whole collection. Fall 2020 argued that delicacy and frivolity are not the opposite of power, and it made the case with fringe, jet beads and sheer tulle.
The show was staged in a sunken plaza in the basement of the Fondazione Prada, with a red statue of Atlas at its centre, a man carrying the weight of the world while the women walked around him. The irony was intended.
What Prada called the “clichés of femininity” were set against pieces usually read as masculine. Boxy belted jackets came with fringed skirts. Bib-front shirts had strings of crystals hanging from the shoulders. Basketball jerseys were stretched to the knee and worn with ropes of beads and sneaker boots. Car-wash skirts, embroidered and cut into strips, moved beautifully, and the lotus-flower prints nodded to the Vienna Secession. The colour was sharp too: yellow, lavender, red against green.
The collection is polished and very wearable, even if it tries to say a lot at once. It also matters for another reason. This was the last womenswear show Miuccia designed alone before Raf Simons joined her, and the last Milan season before the world shut down. Looking back, it feels like a closing statement from a designer who built her own vocabulary and never needed permission to use it.
