A bag so hot, it’s a fashion emergency

Our reading
The Prada show had models walk the runway four times, each time adding or removing garments to reveal hidden pieces. It’s like a fashion version of a Russian nesting doll, but with more sweat and fewer surprises.
Shoppers are clearly into the idea of a brand that’s ‘intentionally decayed and ravaged,’ which is just a fancy way of saying ‘messy but stylish.’ It’s the same aesthetic that made the 1950s dress transform from a flared skirt into a pantsuit, which is like a fashion version of a magic trick—except the magic is just a lot of fabric and a few models.
Prada’s Wish Pouch, which saw a 500% demand surge, is now the hottest product, which is probably why the brand is back on top. It’s not just a bag—it’s a statement, a mystery, and a reason to keep buying things you don’t really need.
