Perhaps most known for its controversial high heels that caused several falls on the runway, this show presents a consistent creative direction that investigates sexuality.

The garments featured crinkled fabrics, disheveled layering, and messily-tied contrasting ribbons, exploring a version of femininity that borders on eroticism. The sky-high heels play a part in this, alluding to stereotypical depictions of femininity in fashion and broader culture. 
⠀
In part, this collection is a return to Prada’s version of the 50s, a time of her youth and greater freedom — an innocent discovery of sexuality through dress.

⠀
Our archive currently has a blazer from the Prada SS 2009 collection available for sale.
