Gemma Ward made her runway comeback at Prada Thursday night. The Australian model, who has been away from the industry for six years, opened the show in a contrast stitched, double-breasted coat which set the tone for this typically off-the-wall (the runway was lined with piles of lilac sand) show.
Models wore knee high-socks worn with clog-style boots and sandals, plenty of stunning brocade fabrics, and Asian cocktail dresses, while leather coats and skirts were also prevalent. If the color palette was pretty autumnal for a Spring show, there was also a hint of the colder seasons in the materials, with the collection’s patchwork furs, rib-knit sweaters and vests.
The beauty look was typically Prada: wet look hair pulled back with a few flyaways sitting on models’ foreheads, worn with bold eyebrows, winged eyeliner and nude lips. Another noughties fashion A-lister, Dutch model Lara Stone, closed the show.
