Prada AW26 menswear: deets to steal

Prada Aw26 tailored coat

There was a bit of an online brouhaha about the skinny silhouettes at Prada menswear AW26 yesterday, but since we’ve had years of oversized slouch, I think we should give Miuccia and Raf a pass this time. As a naturally petite woman, I loved it and I’m ready for a slimmer silhouette.

Wales Bonner aw25

Fashion-wise, could we be at the turning point now, with all the big runway debuts ringing in major changes (we hope)? Let’s see. For now, I’m still in my classics era, so I’m spotlighting the people and brands doing that really well, including the labels to target for the best pieces at non-crazy prices. Plus, a 90s shoe revival, some beauty updates and what’s on my culture wish list… (more…)
