Prada Men’s 2010 Fall/Winter Collections Hit The Milan Runways

Men’s runway shows have been buzzing in Milan recently, where designers began showing their fall/winter collections for 2010.

Miuccia Prada managed to mine the American preppy canon alongside bold street-wear patterns that included colorful puzzle-piece camouflage and dizzying geometrics on what appeared to be ballistic-nylon outerwear and bags.

As the first of the navy blue blazers, beige trousers and camel-colored trench coats hit the runway, it seemed like a huge departure from the traditional Prada DNA. But as the models made their second pass back up the runway one could notice it was all filtered through the Prada lens, as the designer toyed with the traditional ever so slightly: sweaters stopping above the navel and sleeves creeping below the wrist, while outwear pieces had generously cut lapels and many collars were double layered – one of shearling, shiny vinyl or nylon, with a second on top in a knit fabric.
