A Prada show
doesn't get a title, but its set does. "Menacing Paradise" was
the name given the painted façades that defined the show space.
The
tropical paradise Miuccia offered in her clothes was a dark place, its sun a
lowering, lurid threat. It put you in mind of all those movies set in
the tropics where everything goes badly for the characters.From Here to
Eternity, for example: Hawaii in the 1940s, Pearl Harbor, Burt Lancaster,
Deborah Kerr, Frank Sinatra… "War and love," Miuccia summed it
up—appropriate because her collection was a kind of love story, too. That's why
there were women on the catwalk, in clothes that amplified the prints and
details of the menswear.
