And even if you are Mrs. Miuccia Prada, in case of this specific collection, you can't just get away with that. But she will...everybody will rave cause that's how it goes

Not that I think Miuccia has worked a lot on this collection

PRETTY has been overdone 800 million times and back.

I like the laser printed crocodile totes, but I cannot help but to wonder who Miuccia's audience is, who is she selling this stuff too. Not all gay men are effeminate, not all gay men will wear miniskirts, and I know that no straight man would. Heck, I mean, how many effeminate men would wear the miniskirts in public without the risk of looking like a fool? I consider myself to have a very open mind, but I cant get into the lot of these pieces.

Someone said something about the showpieces...

I have to admit, I do like a couple of things in this collection. Like, boots, pants and the red thing BUT the rest of its simply makes me feel upset...

As if Miuccia would say: "Let's see what kind of **** can I force the public to eat!"

Oh common it's not THAT bad. Take away the tutus and undies and the rest is pretty darn cool.

Goodness gracious... they have got to be kidding me with this crap. The suits are great, but why in sake of all that is precious to humans, monkeys, and bumblebees are there nude tops and mini skirts in here?! Who in their right mind, besides somebody in Right Said Fred would wear a nude top? I don't care how innovative Prada may be, a spade is a spade.

OMG this made me laugh really hard.Miuccia has lost her damn mind!

Tutus?Weird zipers,those nude tops?

But i do like some of the shoes and those bags,and i like how extreme the total one colour suits(the red one!)with those boots look.

Still an insane collection!

You've got to wonder if every now and then she thinks to herself "I'm just gonna f*** with them a bit, see how much I can get away with."
i think its beyond every now and then. it seems to be her design formula for the past few years and people just keep eating it up.

^ Exactly, I think even moreso with the mens collection because men as a whole, no matter how stylish, are much less likely to embrace rediculously "innovative" fashion.


Now, let me just speak as an out and loud gay man that I'd have to be extremely inibriated before I'd go near that tutu.

Hope that clears up a few things for those with delusions that gay men like this kind of crap.

This really is a joke, and a horrible homage to MJ's own rediculous collection. That's what offends me most is that this isn't anything new. So once you take away the pseudo innovative mood this is trying to convey and look at this as clothing it's kind of a pathetic mess in places.

Don't get me wrong, I love the colors and some of those shiney jacquard fabrics, but most of this is just too foolish to even consider in any intelligent way.
