Post of category 'Prada'

The attention during these days is focused on Milan’s fashion week and among all that creativity a strong and determined woman stands out. She is the Prada muse for the Fall/Winter collection 2011.

This superb and stylish attitude reflects its self on the accurate choice of the clothes she wears, as bridges between past and present connecting Fifties-Sixties retro inspired lines to the innovative fabrics, original cuts and unexpected details.

The palette of colours flies up from black to the timeless camel, with vibrant peaks of blue and red that still does not allow to exits from the rigorous and strict schedules.

This bon-ton lady shows printed clothes and coats, nostalgic tricot pull underlining the waist with thin bow belts. She also amazes with plastic garments, such as raincoats, jackets and flared skirts in traditional camel and black.

The breast is seductively underlined by malicious ruffles. The serious dresses lets see little sensual “islands of skin” between the belly and the heart without losing a bit of solemnity. The wool socks are worn with sandals.

We have already talked about the Prada Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign and we announced on that occasion who is the new face representing of the fashion house. Today we would like to share the first picture of that campaign featuring the model Rasa Zukauskaite. The real protagonist of the shoot the handbag that catch immediately the attention.

The main colours of this new ad, as this first shoot shows, are the nuances of gray and light brown illuminated by the sparkling jewel detail and the glossy look of the new Prada bag. The only note in contrast with the softness of the shoot is the vibrant lipstick shaking the picture up.

Today we want to talk about Prada and in particular about its handbags collections. When it comes of Prada it’s impossible to not talk of quality that together with elegance creates that time-less style we have always been loving.

Far by seasons and fast trends Miuccia Prada has always managed to capture fashion suggestions and redesign them on her bags and shoes collections where new elements come near recurrent iconic patterns creating quite a reassuring effect.

This is what happens with the jacquard logo on the saffiano fabric of the bags. All the characteristic we have talked about can be found on the East West jacquard nylon tote also featuring nappa handles and refinements, buckles and detachable strap. It’s a classic model but absolutely in current fashion, maybe thank to the gathered effect of the fabric or simply for its elegant simplicity.

For Fall/Winter 09/10 Prada has designed the Velluto Jacquard Tote Bag combining a retro style element like the jacquard velvet decoration with a contemporary component like nylon. An other old fashion characteristic are the handles of the bag featuring also the detachable shoulder strap.

This fantastic brand-new Prada handbag is ideal for every occasions thank to its comfortable shape and size together with the elegance and charme of the velvet jacquard pattern.

The new Prada collection for Spring/Summer 2010 is intended for a young woman whose style stands between classic and contemporary. The rigorousness of shapes and hi-tech fabrics meets the romance of floral, classic and tropical prints, reminding enjoyable Summer atmospheres.

Jackets and boleros are matched with minimal shorts. Favorite colours at the Prada fashion shows are gray and neutral nuance with concessions for pastel tones like light bleu, lilac  and yellow. Luxury crystals embroidered dress appear on the finale.

The new Prada Primitive bags  have in their name the essence of the collection: the desire for nature and origins. The main characteristic is the crumpled aspect of the materials and their soft shape.

The aspiration to came back to wild nature and primordial atmospheres was previously announced at the fashion show by the S/S collection and then by the ad campaign. The crumpled and deconstructed dress are perfectly complemented by bags.

Colours and materials emphasize the search for primitives dimensions and nature with a real protagonist: python. Primitive bags are realized in soft leather but there are also jacquard nylon versions or the particular python skin printed nylon bag with lateral leather bows.

Here there are three photos realized by Steven Meisel for the new Prada 2009 spring/summer ad campaign. Linearity, fundamental characteristic of all the campaign, is obtained by the chromatic identity that differentiates single shoots and at the same time is the leitmotiv of them all.

All the photos show a group of models that in the first shoot are dress up in white, in the second in black while in the third photo features also red and golden colour. These colours are both very used in the Miuccia Prada 2009 spring/summer collection.

We recently introduced the 2009 spring summer Prada collection for the Milan Fashion Week. And now, celebrities prove the success of the Miuccia Prada collection after the fashion parade.

Let’s see then the total black look showed off by actress Kristen Dunst for the Paris Fashion Week. She picked a crimpled black dress from the 2009 spring summer Prada collection.

Lots of innovation with Miuccia Prada who introduced her new 2009 spring summer collection at the Milan Fashion Week.

The famous and loved designer, very well known for her devotion towards experimentalism, brought on stage a minimalist tone combined with a new elegance and sensuality.

All this leads to the search which is the guide line of this collection. Search of new materials, such as dresses crumpled fabrics, search of unusual combinations such as snake skin and shoes with coulisse, and, as well, search of chromatic effects with a touch of golden.

It just reaches your ankle, it looks like a boot and competes with pumps. This shoe, widely known as ankle boot, gained the approval of the world of fashion last year already, but this year even more is one of the most wanted must have of next fall winter.

Ankle boots trend in every possible material, patent leather or leather, but fashion houses picked suede as most used fabric, as Prada and Fendi, Roger Vivier and Cesare Paciotti can confirm, also presenting them in purple.

Perfect with stretch trousers, and chic if combined with a skirt, ankle boot is a guaranteed item for women’s closets, an item available in almost all 2009 fall winter accessories collections.

It is a black trimmed with lace dress from the fall-winter 2008/09 Prada collection, a collection we heard a lot about up to now, which we are going to listen a lot about in the coming future.

You could ask yourself the reason of such a wide space for a collection, but if the collection is from Miuccia Prada, here it goes the answer.

  Plenty successes over Miuccia Prada’s career, since she inherited the enterprise which in the late 70ees was a leather producer, a woman who created one of the most prestigious and famous names of the fashion system thanks to her extraordinary creativity.

 Since she launched the nylon accessories collection in 1985 and, in 1989, the first prêt a porter collection, Miuccia Prada style reached along the years all deserved goals that leaded the fashion house on top of the fashion Olympus.

Miuccia Prada fall-winter 2008/09 collection could appear austere and severe at first glance, just like the ad campaign pictured it.

Nothing to say to Charlize Theron wonderfully wearing Prada at the premier of “Hancock” in Japan.

From the collection, fascinating trimmed lines caressing bodies as delicate as gloves on rich hands. The final effect of this dress, modified for the actress and completed with a pair of Prada shoes, is light and seductive, not austere anymore.

Miuccia Prada succeeded one more time in creating something exalting feminine figure, focusing her attention on lightness of the lines and the peculiarity of fabrics. This is where Miuccia Prada success comes from, her fall-winter collection becoming the must of celebs and fashion reviews even before the beginning of the season.
