  • “She rejected the below-knee hemlines that seemed to be the direction of fashion and bared the knees in little shift dresses and boxy jackets, calling to mind Courreges of the 1960's. There was much of the space-age quality of his vision, but done with the unmistakable Prada touch. Instead of the sweet prints and embroideries of recent seasons, Ms. Prada decorated the clothes with bands of high-tech plastics and strips of blank film….It was a collection geared to meet the millennium.”
    ―Anne-Marie Schiro for the New York Times, March 4, 1998


    “ ‘I was trying to make something organic with movement,’ said Prada, to explain the loose panels flying from short pleated skirts and plastic decoration moving like articulated scales. Think Pierre Cardin and Paco Rabanne in the 1960s.”
    “The point of Prada's show was to find a modern way to decorate minimalist clothes, by using fabrics with surface interest, like felted wools or astrakhan. Or to add high-tech highlights: a grid pressed into the fabrics with an industrial iron. or slithers of clear plastic appliquéd like Band-Aids."
    ―Suzy Menkes for the International Herald Tribune, March 4, 1998
