Mrs Prada set her models in nature, turning her vast show venue into a mossy, mulchy forest floor. For Prada, that gesture was about contrasting the small human body with the vastness of nature, “To symbolise – and to give value to our small body, small conceptually. I wanted to create with humanity, with gentleness, with poetry, with romance,” she explained. “Because we are small in the world, but we are enough.”

What’s enough for now? Prada put together pared back, simple looks, just like Miu Miu used do when it launched in the 1990s. There were cotton scoop-neck mini dresses in shades of greige, high-waisted belted jackets worn with flaring trousers and crumpled leather coats. The pieces were charming and naive, almost. Most were largely unadorned, save for the Miu Miu label on the front. Decoration came from the bedazzled flaps of trapper hats, glittering block heels, sparkly trainers, beaded and embroidered slides. Crystal and silver bullion belts and embroidered panels on sheer tops and dresses brought a hit of Deco romance to after dark looks, with Gillian Anderson closing the show in a nude chiffon flapper shift, glimmering with embellishments. Small but mighty.
