Miuccia Prada: Steal Her Style

Miuccia Prada, Steal Her Style, vickiarcher.com


I have Long been an admirer of Miuccia Prada.

I’d like to steal not only her style but also her wardrobe.


I admire her fashion bravery, her love of colour, the whimsical embellishments and her unusual pairings.


I could not wear all choices and combinations she makes but there are elements of her outfits that resonate. Taking risks in fashion is not for everyone and nor is it easy; it shows a self-confidence and love of design not all of us are blessed with.


Miuccia Prada, always ahead of the fashion game, is an original and looks noteworthy even if her outfits are not all together mainstream.

 

 

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts go so fast. Fashion is instant language.”

What is it about Miuccia Prada that makes her style so eye catching?


Like many women we admire and wish to learn from the key is to study her style and take away the elements that resonate. “Stealing” her style does not mean we must be cloaked in Prada.


Miuccia Prada has an eye for colour.

Her collections are extraordinarily vibrant in an oftentimes-monochromatic fashion environment. She blends citrus shades with every shade of the rainbow and masters the unexpected with her colour palette.


She says, “Daring to wear something different takes effort.’ Isn’t that the truth?

It is far easier to stay trapped than leave the comfort zone. I respect that about her; she is an older woman with a wonderful sense of fashion bravery. Miuccia Prada thinking, I-can’t-possibly-wear-that-because-I-am-too-old? I don’t think so.


Her quirky fashion style works well for her and I cannot imagine she will ever lose her flirtatious relationship with clothes. I believe she is well versed in what suits. She is a strong looking woman and she dresses accordingly. Her features dictate her sense of style.

There is the queue; know and understand ourselves.

Then there are her accessories.

She plays big when it comes to jewellery, shoes and handbags. Her clothing silhouette may be simple and oftentimes black but her accessories are notable; she embellishes her severity with pieces that not only illuminate but also say, “this is who I am”.


Miuccia Prada and her designers blend the unexpected and understand fashion needs a little whimsy to work; this is what I want to emulate.



Let’s “steal” a little of this whimsy.
