I have a strange relationship with color. I seldom wear it, yet I nearly force other people to. Miuccia Prada may just be my savior this winter. With an endless array of muted, delicious brights, she proved that color does work in a bleak season. Lovely grandpa cardigans and colorblock legwarmers brought this homely-chic collection to life in an innovative glamour. Hemlines fell at or below the knee creating a softness not found in the majority of other shows thus far. Tops were thoughtfully constructed leaving much to the imagination while retaining the sophisticated heir of the collection. Thrown-together-and-looking-fabulous seemed to be the motto at hand, and while it wasn’t a collection for everyone, it proved that Prada can be just as playful as its diffusion line, only in a grown-up manner.

Standout pieces include the quirky legwarmers (we’re suggesting getting on the list NOW, as we all know how those darn grey knee-highs turned out last season!), vests, and the coats…how much do I love coats that look like the ’70s threw up? Very, very much.
