Miuccia Prada offered a new form of austere sexuality, with lace as the new tool of seduction, in her autumn/winter collection, shown at Milan Fashion Week earlier this evening. But there was a perverse side to her vision, too.
The silhouette almost obliterated the breasts; indeed the entire upper body was shielded, from waist to a tiny, high-set governess like collar which finished just under the chin.
Instead the clothes created erogenous zones on the hips – emphasized with a boned, “peplum” skirt, fastened with a buckle – and bare legs, which were glimpsed through the intricate floral patterns of heavy, Guipure lace.
The models, with their hair scraped back into leather snoods and faces almost devoid of makeup, resembled a parade of Mrs Danvers from ‘Rebecca’, grim, slim and flashing thigh and calf as they stalked a spiral staircase-catwalk inspired by the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
The collection was based almost entirely on lace – 600 metres of it, to be exact, imported from Switzerland – and it came see-through or layered over flesh-tone, stretch-silk, body-stockings, leotards, bodices and big knickers.
