MILAN (AP) — Don’t call them nostalgic. The bows and aprons, silken slips and twin sets that are mainstays of the Prada collection for next fall and winter. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have recovered elements of a women’s wardrobe history and reconstituted them into something “modern” for Prada’s next cold weather collection. Prada said Thursday that this act of reinventing items fished from deep inside the closet “frees them from their cage” to give them new meaning.
