Exit 1 looks like an Alaia, doesn't it?
I really like the print, don't you?
The collection is accomplished and very much in line with the womanly story of the house that Miuccia Prada built. Mrs Prada said: "It's normal clothes. Classics. Revising the things I did in the nineties." Indeed the retro shapes recall her first fashion collections for the house almost completely. I would be completely happy of there was a great fur thrown in there somewhere, instead of those cannot-understand patent-plastic (?) skirtts and things? And the odd petrol blue knit collars? Otherwise a pretty gorgeous winter wardrobe both 'fashion' and wearable. 
How can you endorse fur GG? Wearing it makes us less beautiful. Fashion should be fun, not cruel.

ReplyDeletebut i guess the whole point wasn't about the fur, it was about the prints...
ReplyDeletei fell in love with the prints, they all reminded me of MARNI... but the silhouettes, of course, was very much Prada... the closest reference i have to it is probably the "fairy" collection... i believe it was SS07...
:)
Anon: I've said it elsewhere and I repeat - just existing is cruel to nature and the environment. The whole anti-fur 'movement' is illogical and sensationalist.
ReplyDeleteDo you eat meat? Do you use detergent?
Why is killing a mink or a sable more cruel than a chicken or calf? And who decides this order of cruelty? Isn't this entirely arbitrary?
Don't you swat at roaches and spray insecticide to kill bugs? Isn't this cruel? Will you give up killing bugs? What about bacteria? Who decided that bacteria doesn't deserve to live? Or that it's actually less cruel to murder bacteria?
Our way of life is cruel - our chemicals pollute the earth. So unless you choose to remove yourself, you will never be able to convince me not to endorse fur.
I'm pro-fur, and i'm not sorry about it.
Chris: I guess if you're as old as me, you'd know that mrs prada was referencing her watershed 'ugly' collection with its 'ugly' check prints (i can't remember what year, but it was the early 1990s - it was modelled by caroline murphy with very short cropped hair in the campaign). it was her way of doing 'grunge'.
