Prada FW 2019 Womenswear (2)


Creative director, Miuccia Prada, has absolutely amazed me with her Fall/Winter 2019 Womenswear Collection for Prada. In my previous post, I showcased some of the military-inspired looks that caught my eye. However, I cannot truly do this collection justice as a fashion commentator without acknowledging that the edgy, grunge looks presented in this collection absolutely rocked! Miuccia Prada is a 73-year-old Italian fashion designer with familial ties to the popular brand. She is also founder of Prada's subsidiary brand, Miu Miu, which has traditionally appealed to the young adult market. In admiring the pieces from her 2019 Prada collection, there is definitely no such thing as an age limit placed on either of these fashion lines. Women of all ages can easily wear pieces from both Prada and Miu Miu.

Interestingly enough, a few years after Prada showcased the 2019 collection, the new Netflix sensation, Wednesday, immediately began a Prada shoe craze over the main character's goth shoes that can be seen from this collection. Wednesday is a Netflix series that is based off of the young female character from the morbid 1960's television sitcom, the Addams Family. The Netflix popular series began airing on November 23, 2022. Today, the Monolith lace-up shoes worn by the Netflix character Wednesday Addams can be purchased for $1,270. These shoes look fabulous on Jenna Ortega, the actress who plays the role of the main character of Wednesday. Whether you are rocking a cool grunge look or wearing a more tailored, uniform look, these leather shoes can help polish your look with a touch of luxurious quality.

And, yes, the combat boots and Cloudbust Thunder sneakers from this collection are also super fab and can be currently purchased directly from Prada!

Prada FW 2019 Womenswear (1)


Trendy runway fashion presented for current and upcoming seasons does not become actualized fashion for the everyday person until a few years later. The very expensive clothing that you see presented by leading luxury designers during fashion week (New York, Paris, and Milan primarily) need a moment to be reproduced by mass market retailers to offer a similar, more affordable option to the everyday non-celebrity consumer. This explains why I tend to blog about fashions and editorials that are from a few years ago instead of fresh off of the most recent runway shows.

The pieces from the 2019 Prada Fall/Winter Womenswear collection that stand out to me as true showstoppers are those pieces that are heavily military inspired. In today's delicate economy, it is a clever investment to add some well constructed military-inspired pieces to your wardrobe especially if you can get actual military attire at a military surplus store or a consignment shop. Military-inspired fashion never goes out of style ... especially if the pieces are from the Prada design house!

Cool, modern twist on a wardrobe classic.

In the overall collection, there is a freakish Frankenstein theme that connects all of the styles presented giving the collection a fresh, modern flair with a few glitzy touches and whimsical details. However, the strong military-inspired details throughout stand out to me as the dominant featured style. This is apparent in the super fabulous footwear featuring removable logo patches, luxury leather exterior construction, and thick, durable soles. There are military-inpsired sneakers, loafers, and boots that will definitely serve as wardrobe staples for fashion-forward urbanites. If one must splurge on an authentic Prada piece, it must be on a pair of the brand's chunky, military-inspired footwear.
