Having said this, a while ago the photolicious Yulanda and I stopped into the Prada on Bloor Street and were greeted by a) very solicitous sales staff and b) some really lovely creations. And by some I mean 12 in the entire store.
And now I'm looking at this runway collection and I'm feeling it:
PS: Do not consider the hair and makeup styling here. It's horrendous. And please don't think I endorse posting pictures of women who look like victims of famine. In fact, I desisted from posting at least 5 photos I liked more, because I feel that skeletal frames send a bad message.
What do you think?

Agree. On all counts. Can't stand the hair or makeup, and their skinny frames make me long for a calzone ... but the frocks are just flawless.
ReplyDeleteWell, stick-girls are not on their way out of the modeling/fashion world anytime soon, so I'll heave a sigh of resignation and move on.
ReplyDeleteI like the dresses, especially the red one. I always like Prada, even if it's just to look at.
yes, I always wonder why women try so hard to look like adolescent boys. It really blows my mind ...I have to say that I too am loving Prada right now ...sometimes, most times, I barely take a glance but I'm definitely double-taking these. {the shoes as well ...but why they are adding the little sock bootie is beyond}
ReplyDeleteI still can't get over how he told us it didn't hurt to try things on after you told him we couldn't afford any of it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, while I was interning at FASHION, I overheard them picking out runway shots to accompany an article. Several were picked over because the models were too skinny, which I thought was pretty awesome. It made me love the magazine that much more.
(But truthfully when I'm pulling runway shots, I barely glance at how the girl looks herself.)
Having almost owned Prada,(Hi Janet, looking forward to seeing your tootsies in those sandies) I get the swoon factor too K. And I love that line on the skirt. If that is the direction of skirt cuts then I am going to be one happy little big bottomed small waisted lady!

I agree with all. The models, the hair the make-up... yack, but the red dress is really nice.

Skeletal frames are awesome places to hang stuff from. Wet towels, cheap necklaces, etc.
ReplyDeleteI've always had a thing for Prada-thanks again for the sandals Lisadom!
ReplyDeleteI thought this collection had some great pieces, although I don't see myself in leather hip-waders next season. The dresses, though....mmmmmm.
I've bought at least a dozen pristine Prada items at my secret Marshalls source for around $100 each.
I like the first and last pic.
