Fiery Engines and pleated skirts at Prada

Labels:

Womenwear

The way men objectify women could be the same as how men see sport cars; sexy and untouchable. This was the idea that circles the Prada show.

I thought that the show was very focused with lots of pastels and prints. There were fiery engined cars, like Cadillac from the 50's in pale pinks and mints. The skirts were pleated and feminine, worn with sheer blouses and large statement jewellery.

The attitude of the girls were very sexy, especially Abbey Lee, exposing the mid part which seems to be the new proportion this season. There were many tube tops (which sounds funny when it is in a prada show), which were like scrunchies on the model (that we have previously seen in Prada before in S/S 2009 show).

Some of the proportions were frumpy (in the best sense of the word) and very milanese madame-esque in a way, with the knee length skirts and the slightly oversized coat in old wallpaper flower prints.(similar to those we seen at the fantastic mens show earlier this summer) This collection reminded me slightly of nannies, a milanese nanny in the sixties especially all the dresses with toy cars print. That juxtaposed with those very sexy, almost fetishistic shoes make it very interesting. And once again we will be seeing, editors, fashionistas, editor stalkers aka bloggers wearing them everywhere next summer!

Oh Mrs. Prada, you did it again!

Arguably, one of the most anticipated show in Milan and rightly so. Again Mrs Prada delivered a spectacular show of a cross between a cartoon cowboy and a southern golfer from the 70's. There were shoes that were brilliant, they were frilly, colourful shoes with rounded blue spikes. The dominating component here ware probably the prints; very colourful one of flower power and golf-y things matched with cute hats. And also those embellished shirts and clutch with colourful gemstones(the kind you get on a medieval toy sword). Some how they are very fun and new, perfect for editorials. So I am sure we will see them everywhere next summer.

It is exciting to see something new and fresh every season and Mrs. Prada is really that force. Apparently she said, "I hate golf" after the show backstage.

I know, I know, I know. I am finally ordering one of these. I have been wanting them since I saw them on the runway (while others said they were ugly and the daily mail even made it official). There is just something about them that I like, I makes brogues which kind of reminds me of old men more wearable for me.

I want this one, the TABACCO, I've been trying to look for as many photos as possible as I won't be able to see them in real life. I am sure I want them now. To be be completely honest, as a person who loves minimalism, I never found Prada that appealing. Don't get me wrong, I love the runway shows, the presentations, the styling and the quirkiness of Mrs. Prada but always find their clothes too flashy(minimally flashy) and it screams PRADA which I absolutely hate. I mean talking about it now just give me a little flash of those hideous sneakers they do every season with the huge red stripe which engraves PRADA.
But these shoes where almost love at first sight(or a crush), it will give me extra height and they will look smart without being too anal about looking smart.

Hopefully I will like them when they arrive or else, I may just have to put them on a shelf and just look at them.

I hate it when I like hyped or widely coveted item such as this because my judgement somehow becomes distorted. Every season there are a couple of items like this, this season's contenders include those colourful Prada fur stole/scarf and definitely the D&G white lace dress(cover of ALT's first french vogue).
