I have to hand it to Miuccia Prada: she doesn't half-ass it when it comes to being bold. She stays committed to it. She went for a futuristic Tommy Bahama look with tropical prints and one shirt that looked like a Hawaiian button-up paired with a banana skirt that I will covet for the rest of my life.
I love when designers clash prints. It makes me feel like my being lazy when choosing an ensemble was actually a cool thing to do. If wearing head-to-toe mismatched technicolor stripes is wrong, I just don't want to be right.
This was my favorite look. What a gorgeous dress. The print is sick, but even without it, it's still such a beautiful design and the fringe (or pipe cleaners?) at the bottom is a perfect detail. The whole outfit looks amazing. If I had money, I'd buy the whole look right off the runway.
This is Samantha Gradoville. Her dad is my dentist. NO BIG DEAL.
Homerun, Prada. Carmen Miranda would be proud.

I still don't know what to think about this collection. I definitely know there's something really signature Prada about it - perhaps the boldnes - and that's good.

ReplyDeletehaha, i loved it too. my fave is the monkey shirt, though: http://runway.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/23/monkey-business-at-prada/
ReplyDeleteI love the bold colors and mixed patterns - something about this feels more like resort than SS though; maybe it's just because it's so different than what I'm used to seeing from Prada.
ReplyDeleteYeah definitely a strange collection, still no decided. I'm not a huge fan of prints but it's nice to a vibrant collection full of luscious colours.
