I can't wait to see the lace details and scuptural clothes translated into to the magazines.

This is the first Prada collection that I like upon first glance and not two months down the road.

Christian Dior also used the giant lace fabrics
for Spring/Summer 2007
very much like the Prada lace here

rather in blocks instead of completely all over...
across the bust
and near the hem
i wouldn't say accent details though , more like change in texture

Wow, that Dior lace looks extremely similar design-wise.

i just read in WWD that the lace items will sell for 800 dollars per meter.

the more i look at it, the more i like it.
seeing it in motion definitely help with breaking away the image of granny chic that was my first impression of the collection.
anyone know where i can get the show music? i love the soundtrack

 

[gius]

it's by a French band,Ez3kiel

when i break down the design into concepts
i find myself liking it too & in fact becoming super appealing in terms of inspiring how to dress... new insights

 

[MUXU]

yes yes, now that i broken down the collection and find it actually very forward and modern

This is seriously one of the best collections from Fall 2008.

I can't wait to see people on the street wearing it - and how they add a youthful appeal to it in their own ways.

Its very European though so I doubt the American market will respond well to it.

I loved the necklaces - they looked like pencil sharpenings!!!

interesting point

or at least , it will work for older generations, no matter what part of the world

I like the simple and elegant feeling of this collecton.

 

[bedtimestorynyc]

those pieces can definitely be worked into something modern and edgy - lace is very peculiar though it's hard to make it look edgy, but it's possible..... luv the orange skirt btw!!!!
there are also some non-lace pieces that are quite beautiful!

Umm where was this in the runway show? I'm confused. Do they make pieces and then choose not to show some?!


Imagine how many variations of lace there are they we weren't shown!!

 

[gius]

wow ^ that's way more interesting that what's in this collection
both fabrics are really beautiful

i'm so accustomed to the idea Prada.com is just a website with an image on it and no links..that I keep forgetting it's not like that anymore.. I should visit more often!

 

[dior_couture1245]

I love the Prada lookbooks.

 

[gius]

yes ^ they're very well thought-out

they are just like trend forecasting boards
lots of inspiration
&
seem to have a concept behind them . does anyone know if they had a lookbook like that for s/s 2008 ? the faerie collection
i know they did one for s/s 07 and f/w 07

 

[helmut.newton]

^^^ Yes there was a lookbook.

I remember they had the girls with no make-up and just the clothes.

I'll see if I have it on my computer

ps. I LOVE your avatar. So creative!
