  • Story Text: Prada's spring/summer collection for 2001 took a more simple approach than fellow designers at Milan's fashion week, concentrating on one of the most reviled eras of fashion history, the 1980s.
    Whilst other designers have wallowed in satin, silk and gold, Miuccia Prada has taken us on a tour through fashions past with a new, unexpected twist.
    In the case of Prada's summer 2001 collection, that means combining 1980s-style stilettos with a pleated skirt and a tube top. Or a button-neck T-shirt in pale pink cotton, with a slim skirt, worn with gloves that nearly reach the armpit.
    Prada's uniform was a drab gray cotton shirt worn with a pleated, wrap around skirt, decorated with black beaded flowers for evening. The suit -- a modern urban uniform by definition -- had a classically-cut jacket tucked into a slim skirt, with a little bandeau of fabric acting as a belt.
