"There is a sense of the life of women," Miuccia Prada said in a prepared statement. "Life and humanity crafts the clothes— not superficial embellishment, but traces of living, leaving marks. This idea of clothes shaped by humanity excites us." The first look, in its corporate anonymity, seemed to belie that statement. Where's the humanity in a dour gray top coat and lighter gray button-down onesie? But before long, the layers came undone. The boxy tailoring of that coat, for example, was replaced with an old-fashioned nightie, the familiar logo triangle embroidered on its tulle neckline.

Picking up on the craft paper of the set, they used paper-"the most simple, modest material" —for dresses whose color and print didn't quite meet the edges. These were the most thought-provoking pieces in the collection. The white outlines at necklines and hems gave the sleeveless shifts an unfinished, work-in-progress quality, like an artist made clothes out of a freshly painted canvas, rather than putting it in a frame. Knit sweaters and skirts, meanwhile, came pre-creased in places, and the skirts' slits were left raw-edged, with the slips underneath following the same almost ragged lines.

The white nighties and peignoirs over black briefs and the icy silk duchesse dresses tapped into beloved parts of the house archives.
