Wanted to use fringe as a symbol: Prada on her Milan Fashion Week collection

Talking about Prada's collection that was showcased on Thursday at Milan Fashion Week, head designer Miuccia Prada said, "Basically the pleated skirt became fringing because I wanted to use fringe as a symbol." "It's the quintessential cliche of what is considered femininity - sparkles, fringing, embroidery," she added. Prada's deconstructed skirts were combined with suit jackets, shirts and ties.
