Prada Gets Creepy for Fall 2019
Miuccia Prada’s Fall 2019 collection took inspiration from a medley of horror and science fiction pop culture references. Building off the Frankenstein theme from her menswear show in January, horror and darkness was front and center this season. The theme to The X Files played as models with Wednesday Adams braids strolled down the runway in combat boots and lace.

Despite its dark themes the collection itself was actually about romance. Florals were a recurring motif, from prints to appliqués. Of course, being Prada the flowers were offset by utilitarian and military-inspired pieces.
