Miuccia Prada returned to her nightclub concept for her
Miu Miu resort collection, hosting a sprawling party at an
opulent mansion on the Champs-Élysées, the Hôtel de la
Païva, famed for its yellow onyx staircase.
Prada picked that color for her party outfit: a satin Miu
Miu parka with Velcro fasteners. She waved off questions
about her colorful, hyper-embellished collection, returning
to a favorite word: “fun!” Then she capitulated and offered:
“energetic and positive. That’s what we need in these
times.”
She displayed the clothes on mannequins — some
propped on tables, other sprawled on the floor, which gave
guests time to drink in all the dizzying details and candy
colors: yellow plumes spewing out of the vamp of crystal
pumps; swirling sequin embroideries on gleaming coats
in fuchsia or lapis; jewels scattered on the bodice of long
T-shirt dresses in loud curtain prints. While dress shapes
were reminiscent of pre-war eras, the large-scale and
vaguely psychedelic prints tempered the retro feeling.
Giant rave pants, metallic leather cheerleader skirts,
stacked plastic bangles, platform ballerinas and spangled
satin bucket hats all broadcast the same youthful zing.
While overcharged and eccentric, the looks lost some
of their zaniness when worn by models mingling with
guests at the busy party, which featured a DJ set by Kate
Moss and a live performance by Les Plastiscines. The VIP
invitees included Marc Jacobs, actresses Dianna Agron,
Emma Greenwell, Roxane Mesquida and Stacy Martin, and
singers Soko and Petite Mellor.
Greenwell will be filming the second season of the TV
series “The Path” in New York until the end of October. “I
flew in a few hours ago and tomorrow I have a shoot in
London, and then I fly back for work on Tuesday,” said the
actress, adding that after the heat of New York she welcomed Paris’ lousy weather. “I’m so happy to have some
rain and drizzle,” she said. “It’s so nice.”
SoKo has a lot on her plate. She’s been busy doing
promo for “The Dancer” and “The Stopover,” two movies
opening in September. The singer-actress is also incubating her third album. “That’s meant to come out when it’s
ready,” she said. “It’s getting all the ingredients together.”
