The most striking statement of the season may have been Miuccia Prada’s lineup of pantsuits at Miu Miu. After years of darling frocks in girly prints and often retro silhouettes, the designer took a hard right toward the 70s and sent out one printed suit after the other. Of course, the coordinating prints were spring’s big trend, making it slightly easier on the eyes this time around.  Instead of bright florals and tropical prints, designer used plaid, checks and tapestry-like fabrics usually associated with sofas forty years ago.  The print on print suit is still hard to wear in real life, but other designers—including Marc Jacobs, Stefano Pilati, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon at Kenzo, Viktor and Rolf—seem to think you should give it a shot come fall.
