When I think back on this year, there’s one designer that has really shaped the fashion landscape: Prada. Where would the Y2K trend be without the nylon re-edition bags? Would rhinestones be so popular if every girl on Instagram didn’t want that encrusted Cleo? What about the logo tank top? And what would Jeff Goldblum wear if not Prada’s Hawaiian shirts? Case in point: For those into fashion, a world without Prada isn’t a world worth thinking about.
It therefore comes as no surprise that all industry insiders—editors, buyers, stylists and influencers—want a piece of the Prada pie. Co-Creative Directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons are the design duo behind the brand, and together they have become noted culture shifters and trendsetters, having crafted the design house’s very specific aesthetic: a strictly monochromatic palette of starched white shirts and black pinafores with an array of logo-adorned jersey, satin and cotton staples such as cut-out knit dresses, roll-necks and bomber jackets.
Diamanté crystals have become almost as synonymous with the Prada name as its iconic triangle logo. Alongside jewelled ready-to-wear pieces, sunglasses and hair accessories are showstopping metallic shoes and bags. These pieces are perfect for New Year’s Eve celebrations, festive parties and forever gifts, so if you want something that shines, you’ve come to the right place.
Whilst they may come with a luxury price tag, the Prada pieces below are outfit elevators that never go out of fashion. Just look to the coolest celebrities—including Gigi and Bella Hadid, Rihanna and Dua Lipa—for inspo: Their casual, off-duty outfits are made winners with the addition of Prada shades, boots and mini bags. To see all of these It pieces and more, keep scrolling.
