Um, huh…..I feel like this could be special. Don’t fail me Prada.
Phew! The models have some good gripping soles on these shoes- safely first at team Prada! I love the sleeve details- no getting in the soup here. 
I went thru most of junior high with my shoulders falling down- so glad this look finally caught on! I like most of these, tho not in the ways that they are styled here. Also, I recant that if the models really were off saving drowning nuns right before the show and that is why they had no time with the hair people. 
Sort of Daisy Mae at the office- I of course like this hair best. Sort of Angry ‘Prada Don’t Preach’ Madonna.
The jacket is a bit Eddie Haskell until you get to the cuffs. Then look out gerbils! 
I think that if I could see this- it would be my favorite. Just a hopeful feeling. It certainly isn’t the models favorite. 
Maybe you wouldn’t be so chilled if you had a little lining, perhaps a nice flannel. You also shouldn’t run about with a wet head. Didn’t your Mother tell you that?

I hate the wet hair look. They look like they’ve been slobbered on by a giant dog or dragged through a carwash backwards!

This collection seems to be inspired slightly by Les Mis. Or at least that is what I thought when I saw the first one.

Well, the styling sure doesn’t take the spotlight on this collection. It’s just pffft! I love a few of those looks and the fabrics are sumptuous, although I do hope that is good fake fur. Even gerbils look better in their own skin than we do. As to the off the shoulder look, someone should tell them it only looks alluring when you’ve got bunnies in the hutch, otherwise it looks like a ten year old wearing their Dad’s oversized t-shirt. Not a fan of the orthopedic sandals. I’m not sure I like the style in general that cuts the line from knee to foot. If it makes a models leg look shorter I know it would make mine look like one of your daschies, not quite as hairy though….

I’m not thrilled with any of these. #1 looks like she just came from her day job as a model for the cover of a bodice ripper. The Daisy Mae at the office dress would be nice if the shoulders fit, and the one right below it without the fur. I would really having a problem with those dragging in the soup.

Love the 3rd striped dress…although this poor girl looks like she had a real tussle with a groping co-worker at the water cooler and she needs to pull her shoulder back into position. I think the fabrics look tortured and they could do better sending us bolts to play with…great idea Anne!

I like the grayish shirt dress, except for the elephantine lower sleeves. With arms down, they hit right across the widest part of the body. I don’t need help with width there. Also, I wanted to scream at the model, “Get your hair out of your eye!”

The hair is dreadful, I don’t mind the shoes so much and why do the models all look like they’d rather be somewhere else? Is is the hair? And the amount of dead animals…ugh. That being said, I really like the first grey coat, the cuffs remind me of the cuffs on 18th dresses. May have to keep that one in mind!

I am pleasantly educated by this post. Thank you Prttynpnk! I don’t ever take notice of Prada fashions but I’m loving some of these details especially the cuffs, 2nd down. Must be such a drag thinking up a new theme for the models. That ‘just stepped out of a shower’ look must have been a eureka moment for the team!

Like the grey coat cuff detail, the skirt shape of the green ensemble with the pointless fur cuffs,what I can see of the brown and black dress or separates under the plasticky mock croc coat, the buttoned check dress if buttoned and with shoulders in place. Don’t like yet another transparent dress worn with a nice warm fur covering not enough to save the day,the droopy shoulder recycled fifties sofa fabric dress in tan and black or the indecisive black and grey overdress with that old pully fished out from the bottom of the washing pile and thrown on unbuttoned. So….. not very memorable for me. Sorry Prada.

I concur with most other commenters, this was strangely underwhelming for Prada. There’s always at least one detail or construction throughout the collection that really makes you think, but all I could think about this one was that the models look like drowned rats…
