Milan show features boxy shirts and trousers with pleats, next to puffball skirts and satin opera gloves
With wars raging around the world, crackdowns at the US’s borders and military pomp in Beijing, uniform is everywhere – and not in a good way. It is, perhaps, not the obvious choice for a fun fashion trend.
But Miuccia Prada has always loved uniform, and she refuses to cede her favourite fashion territory to the dark side. “I am always trying to build a new kind of elegance,” she said after the Prada show in Milan, a collaboration with her co-designer Raf Simons. “In a uniform you are protected, you are neutral, it allows you to think.”
