As close to Frankenstein's fiancée as to Morticia Addams, the Prada’s winter collection is a syncretism in itself.

THE PLACE

The ground floor of the Fondazione Prada, in Milan, where 54 silhouettes strutted with determination among a cloud of filament bulbs on a catwalk made of steel sheets. &nbsp;Evoking imagery of fields of will-o&#39;-the-wisps, the Gothic imaginings present in this year&rsquo;s fashion week are all the stronger because they were born from ultra-modernity.

SILHOUETTE

Expressionist, from all points of view. &nbsp;Miuccia Prada relies as much on the gothic novels of Mary Shelley (the &quot;mother&rdquo; of Frankenstein) as on the Gothic counterculture born in London in the early 1980s, demonstrated by the films of Tim Burton. &nbsp;&nbsp;A pair of 1950s silk crepe dresses, early-century lace bodices and military uniforms, including the Bomber Jacket worn by Gigi Hadid, demonstrate the juxtaposition felt by Miuccia Prada, who describes the contrast as, &ldquo;Romance and fear, the two forces I most feel at the moment.&rdquo; &nbsp;

THE CASTING

Very convincing as the role of Christina Ricci, the English supermodel Cara Delevingne takes the lead in a cohort of &quot;beginners&quot; freshly spotted by Ashley Brokaw. &nbsp;In the forefront of which is Dutch&nbsp;model&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/isapeerdeman_/">Isa Peerdeman</a>, who is still gaining recognition.
