The Dreamy Narrative Behind the Accessories of Prada’s Holiday 2021 Collection

Not your typical holiday campaign; Prada’s ‘A Midwinter’s Night Dream’ goes beyond what is expected to deliver a cinematic experience to aficionados everywhere. Inspired by the aesthetic dreamscape of cinema and the endless possibilities it beckons, the collection sees ready-to-wear accessories, bags, and shoes in classic shades of white, silver, and black to stylise your Christmas looks this year. 

Complementing its theme, the House enlisted the help of Hollywood’s up and coming actors Julia Garner (Ozark, The Assistant, Inventing Anna), Shira Haas (Unorthodox, Asia), Louis Partridge (Pistol, Enola Holmes) and Taylor Russell (Waves, Bones & All) to parade the designs across a frozen terrain in a short film – much like that of a movie trailer. The amalgamation and blurring of film and fashion in the best possible way. 

Here, we flesh out the true intricacies of the collection and pick out our favourites of the season.

The holidays are all about accessorising. Forget the red, green, and gold this year, Prada is staying true to classic colours when it comes to nailing the littlest details. We’re talking about black sequined hats and headbands and a range of dazzling earrings to flatter your outfits this season. 

Mini shoulder bags are in. Much like its accessories, these bags come sequined and bedazzled to create textures to your looks. Our favourite of the lot? The festi-fied Cleo bag with a chic black finish that even Carrie Bradshaw would love to get her hands on.

Kitten heels and chunky sneakers are all the rave right now, and Prada is no exception to the trend. Available in flattering silver and black numbers, these shoes are all you need to get you through the season.
