Miuccia Prada might have issues with men

prada fall/winter collection menswear
When asked about her menswear collection for Fall/Winter 2008, Miuccia Prada said that "the collection was revenge on men for the social and sartorial contortions they impose on women." She laughed, so maybe Ms. Prada was joking.

Or maybe she purposely emasculated men by sending them sashaying down the runway in high-collar shirts that buttoned up the back like a blouse, pants without zippers, and best (worst?) of all, tutus.

Women's clothing is often inspired by styles that are more typically male and calls it "menswear," so why wouldn't the inspiration go the other way? It's just that women's menswear takes the more superficial style elements like fabrics, colors and small details, but still maintains the practical function of the clothing. Prada's collection renders men's clothing more complicated than it was before. I get that she's trying to make a point, but will we really see men donning tutus this Fall?
