This spring summer Prada collection will not be one I coveted but there are some nice touches to admire especially the shoes.
The recent A/W 11 collection was a different matter. Pure spectacle and pure admiration for the design of the collection, the styling, the setting and the show. It was slightly annoying it was so late for those sat there I'm sure but it was well worth waiting for. Miuccia reworked her favourite aesthetics the sock became part of the shoe to make a boot, the early sixties was reworked with new materials and colour ways but with some nod to her idol Yves Saint Laurent.
Equally the femininity was coltish, a liberating view of womanhood with out the need for overt sexualisation. I didn't like the use of snakeskin as print as I loathe snakes but you can't have everything! It felt light and refreshing even with the inclusion of a beautiful red dress. Ah, all is well with my world again when Miuccia is on top form!
my favourite
Sublime & beautiful
If only I had the funds!!
Now that's what i call a great collection. The faux fur pieces are magnificent and I adore the boots, being a reptile fan. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi my dear-I agree, fabulous pieces, especially love the red outfit and the last black dress, all stunning indeed! xx
ReplyDeleteWow that is the best so far... I adore the red of course.. But also agree on the second piece .. gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteOnly looking at the pics I wasn't sure at first, having an aversion to all things Prada. But this collection grew on me, had to keep looking and looking. Curiously fetching and beguiling. I hope the blue furry thingy is a fake furry thingy, because it is beaut!
ReplyDeleteI don't like any of it! Well, perhaps the blue fake fur thing, but that would make me look like I was being strangled by a fluffy beast, so probably best avoided...
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a favourite of mine, whats with thte furry fish ladies ha ha! But the boots were quite wonderful I have to admit!
ReplyDeleteThat red fish-scale perspex sequin skirt, LOVE x
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful pieces here. Xxxx
ReplyDeletewith you there - great collection really well organised.
ReplyDeleteDear Kate, this is so much better than the last one. I love the colours the scale and the (hopefully) faux fur xx
ReplyDeleteI like all the furry stuff but not those fish scale looking outfits!
ReplyDeleteThe thing with Prada they either have lots of winners in the collection or none at all until the next collection. She's tapped into something here but in mind's eye not her best work to date.
ReplyDeleteI need those boots!
ReplyDeleteThe last dress is my favorite. But then, I'm so predictable and boring that I would choose to like the safest of the lot.
ReplyDeleteThat dress was my favourite, too! The colours, the sequins, the faux fur collar... I have to say, I wasn't keen on the snakeskin, either - quite tacky! Was it Vogue.com that criticised the way the models held their bags? Seems a bit nit-picky to me... x
