Miuccia Prada’s spring collection for Miu Miu was inspired by the drag icon Divine — lots of upholstered platform heels, ruffled crop tops, and suitcase-style handbags, like this chocolate-brown piece ($2,255 at 11 E. 57th St.; 212-641-2980). The matelassé (i.e., quilted-looking) napa-leather exterior and top handle conjure retro luggage, while the polished steel and interior smartphone pocket are very 2015.
