5 Things To Know About Prada’s First Resort Fashion Show

Sporty and feminine elements met for a winning collection.

1. It was a first

Held inside Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Prada’s Resort 2018 presentation was the Italian label’s first fashion show dedicated to the season.

2. Sports-inspired pieces stole the show

Logo-emblazoned knee-high socks, Velcro sneakers and tracksuits featured throughout the collection, giving it a utilitarian undertone.

3. Softer elements played a large part too

Despite the athletic themes, the collection had a decidedly feminine feel thanks to the sherbet shades that were cast across tissue-thin layers, pleated skirts and ruffled blouses.

4. Details, details, details

The marabou feather trim Prada has employed the past few seasons was back again, this time joined by sparkling paillettes and illustrations designed in collaboration with artist James Jean.

5. Braids are back

Models wore their hair in sets of braids, and managed to do so without looking twee—stay tuned to see if the hair trend takes off!
