Prada Looks to 1940s Classics for Spring Summer 2014 Menswear
By SENATUS News | 24 June 2013

Miuccia Prada puts a fresh new spin on summer and the exotic in her latest menswear designs, showcasing satin floral prints that are clearly associated with the Pacific, and pairs them not with the classic linen gin-and-tonic suit, but with a traditional double-breasted pin stripe.

Drawing inspiration from the 1940's, Prada featured classic carry-on luggage with bold designs, including tropical florals and Hawaiian girls. The period references on the luggage were also backdrops to the runway: graphic prints of palm trees, postcard sunsets and images of water.

Classical looks were given a fresh Prada interpretation, infused with a sports theme in mind. There were satiny boxer shorts, light-weight shirts based on a baseball jacket and a retro bowling ball bag. The designer also layered short-sleeved knitwear over shirts, often with clashing patterns.

The color palette recalled stormy sea colors — gray to teal to black — and sunsets — yellow to terracotta to earthy brown and black.
