MILAN PRADA MARNI

I suppose, that in some far off land where the arcane and the esoteric are the norms , then I would be able to decipher the hieroglyphics of PRADA and MARNI...I am not able to understand why these collections will be praised/lauded ...PRADA made reference to the 40's and either gladiators or flappers in some very weighty looking concoctions with some mighty heavy shoes and bags while I cannot even begin to try to understand MARNI except for its accessories
