First off, there’s this whole dupe game happening. I saw someone asking about a “Luna Rossa Carbon Dupe” somewhere online – like, people are *actively* looking for ways to get that Prada vibe without dropping, like, a gazillion dollars. That’s power, right there. Prada’s scent is so iconic it’s got an entire dupe industry bubbling underneath it. Also, they have Candy. I think it is for girls.
Then, there’s this nylon thing. I read somewhere that Prada’s first nylon *bag*? Came about because Miuccia (that’s the designer, right?) got inspired by military-grade nylon. Like, shiny, waterproof, light… Who knew military fabric could be so chic? It’s a testament to her eye, really, taking something utilitarian and making it, well, Prada. I bet those bags are *expensive*.
And! Don’t even get me STARTED on how they use art. Like, floral shoes inspired by James Jean’s artwork?! Come ON. That’s next-level. It’s not just slapping a print on a shoe, it’s translating a whole artistic *vibe* into something wearable. I personally think it’s very abstract. Like someone took art, and said “I can WEAR that”. Like that’s gonna make you a walking, talking art gallery. Maybe that’s a bit much…
Then, you get these weird bits too… Like, they turned buildings in Milan into immersive *experiences* for some Fall/Winter campaign. I mean, good for them, but that feels a little over the top, doesnt it? What are you supposed to DO with that? Stare? Take pictures for the ‘gram? I guess so.
Oh, and “Prada Thunder.” It sounds like a superhero name! Apparently it’s a whole *project* with clothes, bags, shoes, the whole shebang. I kinda wanna see what that looks like, to be honest. Maybe it’s all edgy and lightning-bolt-y? I hope so.
There was also some thing about her influence from her catwalks… Well, honestly, I don’t even know what that is! But I can say that Prada is still so influential. I saw something about short films with comedy and music to tell the story of how a bag can be so… something. I wish I knew what it was, but it’s probably just a “feeling”.
