As part of Paris Fashion Week, Miuccia Prada, Creative Director of Prada, in her new collection, invited to go on a mountain trip to explore Italy's ski region Cortina d'Ampezzo in the heart of the Dolomites.
To conquer the peaks, the models did not have to stand on skis or snowboards. They were replaced by high mountain boots made of faux fur, which Miuccia is bringing back into fashion.
Against the background of snow-capped peaks, the collection is replete with bright colors and non-standard combinations - elements of mountaineering clothing complement gentle fantasies on the theme of underwear. The language of sportswear merges with fashion.
Deliberately bright colors of the accessories complement the pastel shades of soft forms of padded quilted jumpsuits, jackets, gloves, and even bodysuits.
An indispensable attribute of every bow is a knitted ski hat-helmet. It comes with a must-have of times of a pandemic - a mask that can be easily unfastened if desired.
The proposal to wear dresses with thin straps made of loden fabric with exquisite embroidery in ski conditions is a bold and daring challenge to the familiar perception of snow-capped mountains, which deserves admiration.
Eye-catching jewelry brings sophistication and romance to incompatible outfits.
And where without a handbag - fur looks perfect with an oversized down jacket with contrasting stripes, and with a “shine bright like a diamond” dress in every sense.
