“It’s What Women Want”: Mel Gets Up Close and Personal with Prada S/S24

FRIDAY SEP. 22, 2023 10:52 AM LONDON.

After Prada’s show at Fondazione Prada, our Editor-in-Chief Mel Ottenberg stopped by for a closer look at all those big shoulders, ruched bags, and quintessentially Prada heels. Below, he runs down his favorite things from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 show.

It’s a major motherfucking bag, inspired by one of Mrs. Prada’s grandfather’s bags that he did in the ’30s. This ruched bag with the big, evil daddy head on it, she’s really good. This is the best bag I’ve seen.

Alright, burgundy sheer pencil skirt, draped on the side, look at her. Also, this belt. I need this belt. 

———

Okay, perfect black lace up, perfect black sock.

———

This jumpsuit, babe. Ruches in the back, look at her.

This jacket is so great, I love it. And also, this fringed blouse. Is it a bodysuit or a blouse? I’m gonna say it’s a blouse.

———

Look at this nasty ass shoe. It’s beautiful, it’s perfection, it’s what generations and generations of Prada women want. This shoe is a shoe for the ages, a Prada shoe for the ages, and it’s fucking amazing. A shoe for the gods.

———

 Also in orange, look three.

———

These grommets here, this is my favorite look. We’ve got an amazing shirt, that’s a motherfucking shoulder. We’ve got the perfect belt. She’s my favorite. 

———

And then this shirt, which is like a million that I have in my closet, but better. 

———

This dress and that shoe. Wow. And the light pink is even better. Wow. 

———

She’s really good. She’s hard.

———

Actually, she’s hard. She’s extra fucking hard. Wow.

———

In this age of Prada pumps, this one is particularly incredible. I hope the women know how good they have it with Prada pumps in the last year, because they are insane. Look at this fucking witch pump. Come on!
