On the Prada catwalk last night, the dresses had black lace frills where other designers put breast pockets, the sweaters had a silhouette which would have made Jayne Mansfield blush, and shiny high heels were worn with cheerleader socks. Breasts, lingerie and knee socks: for blatant erotic content, this show was up there with the MTV classics of Britney Spears.
But this being Prada – the luxury label which invented geek-chic – it wasn’t a sexy collection so much as a comment about what sexy means in 2010.
“Our vision of what is sexy in women is getting narrower,” said designer Miuccia Prada backstage after the show. “It is all about bows and frills and cliches now. Women can’t seem to give these cliches up.”
