Boys will be…girls?

The latest Prada show on Milan was filled with androgynous outfits that made the Prada men resemble a woman in many ways. The theme was duality from the first outfit: a charcoal suit, sober enough, but its jacket was wrapped in an almost feminine way. And it was worn with a shirt that had two collars, one quite clerical.

At Prada, the idea was what you see is not what you get - starting from the shirt, which was worn back to front, and closed with a cummerbund which at times doubled as a skirt. Just to further confuse the issue while the shirt-front is flattened by a huge bib, the collar is exalted by coming in pairs.
