For her Resort 2018 Collection, Miuccia Prada decided to show at home, and what a venue she chose.

The show was set in the formidable Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (aka the most beautiful shopping mall in the world), which so happens to be above the original Prada shop.

In other words, it was the perfect setting for a cruise collection that showcased the extravagant Lolita-esque femininity we’ve come to love from Prada, but with a bit of a modern kick.

A dose of sports chic was injected to the line, and feathers, frills and sequins mixed with black nylon, sweatshirts, velcro trainers and bum bags - nothing twee here, oh no.

Here are five looks we’re still talking about in the office.

The sheer blouse

There’s nothing we don’t love about this look, from the knee-high art deco print socks to the jewelled shirt and cinched waist.

Prada collaborated with James Jean again to produce a rabbits and lilies print worthy of a fairytale. This co-ordinated combo is the perfect canvas.

This black trench coat with feathers at the cuffs is the only coat we need next season.

The sequin skirt

We’re very partial to sequins here at Marie Claire, so this skirt made it straight to the top of our wish list. The high neck ruffle blouse is a winner too.

If ever there was time to bring back the velcro trainers, this is it. It’s all about mixing shapes and textures.

Now excuse us while we go and rummage in our closets to try and recreate the look.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
