Wed 6th October
Say ‘Hello’ to extreme midriffing, of the kind not seen since Britney sang “Baby One More Time”. As the world of work cranks up again, Miuccia Prada’s ab-tastic vision for a ‘back to the office’ wardrobe features smart staples – blue work shirts and pleated skirts – cropped to bikini-like proportions.
This itsy-bitsy version of the working wardrobe felt like a post-pandemic rejection of familiar traditions and corporate dress codes and also belongs to a bigger realignment of values across the culture. With Miu Miu, Mrs Prada stands with a new generation intent subverting norms and inventing new ones on its own terms.
