#Bra #Or #NoBra
The message seemed to be that you could wear a bra, or you could not—either way, there’s no shame in either choice:)
The presence of bras felt particularly prevalent, just as much as their absence. Many sheer dresses and tops were also seen on the runway with nothing worn underneath. At Rohk, a model walked out with one of the brand’s signature trenches tied around her waist, exposing the naked bust of her torso. At Duran Lantink, a viral moment featured a model strutting with a prosthetic chest that made them appear topless. The message seemed to be that you could wear a bra, or you could not—either way, there’s no shame in either choice. It was all about putting it all out there. Let your bra strap slip off your shoulder! Wear a lace dress with nothing underneath! Hell, wear a big bra if you want, and nothing else!
As for how this trend will actually percolate come fall, you can expect Miu Miu to somehow make the cone bra mainstream. The garment, which originated in the 1950s, was considered controversial for its irregular appearance when Madonna brought it back in the ’90s. TBH, Miu Miu is the only brand I can think of with the influence to make everyone start wearing them en masse.
Come summertime, we’ll definitely be seeing more exposed bra straps underneath tank tops now that the look has Mrs. Prada’s blessing. The “free the nipple” movement will clearly get a second wind as well, with lace dresses and tops seen often and likely more so on the red carpet. And we can only hope someone wants to have enough fun to wear Vaquera’s oversize bra to an award show after-party (I’d even settle for a fun street-style moment:)).
