Damn stefanelle, when rushing through this looks like zombie eyes

I know!

If you closed your eyes, you could scare people half to death in the street with eyelids like that (if you didn't mind bumping into lampposts and falling down manholes, of course)!

I am so surprised I love this collection!!!!!!

It hit me like Fall 2007... very savage, raw but beautiful and innovative...

The coats were to die for, the shapes were beautiful...

The red tailored coat is whoahh!!!

I was expecting something very chic, dark and dangerous, and it's even better than I thought it would be!

THis collection is everything it should be right now.. it expresses how I'm feeling... but I have always loved this style also... its very understated.. which always looks amazing on beautiful women.. it only throws their beauty more into the spotlight..

This woman is confident enough with herself and intelligent enough, to not have to express herself with a 80's nostalgia or a trivial fashion frivolity.

So, any woman who enjoys a bit of trivial fashion frivolity and nostalgia is, automatically, lacking in intelligence and confidence, in your view, then?

Something about this collection is absolutely intriguing to me.

Prada – The New Country Living

...And rarely have we seen so much fur in Milan, and also in Prada, as designers look to renewable materials in an era that demands protection...

Godfrey, sorry, but you're an idiot.

Fur is about the most unrenewable material out there, as animal (particularly mammal) production (for fur, or for red meat) is hideously inefficient and carbon-costly.

^^^ Absolutely not chloehandbags. I'm talking about the way designers have portrayed woman in fashion as having to go back to flashy, provocative, shiny clothes in order to avoid facing up to the recession. To 'have fun' and 'think positive' by partying all the time. Don't you think this is insulting to women? The fact that men are given a strength via a piece of clothing during these economic times, whilst a woman is not afforded the same strength? Instead she should just 'party the reality away' or something?

Prada offers an empowering contrast for women with this collection because she gives them an alternative to the frivolity of the 80's (the era wherein going out was a way of life). It's, like she said, the rejection of 'party time', and the idea of facing up to reality.

If this was by some second rate designer, nobody would look at this collection twice. It's not ugly. In fact, the color pallette is quite nice. But seriously, putting the girls in fishing boots does not an innovative collection make. The clothes themselves are old and stale. I'd rather she worked off that gladiator theme, alas it was only limited to the last couple looks.

Prada’s ‘09 Fall Line to Feature Autumn Theme
Designer Miuccia Prada said she intended to be “experimental” when she began creating her Fall ’09 collection. She began with the idea of the outdoors – “a walk in the fresh air.” What transpired, though, will work equally well for a business woman or a fashionista as for an avid, if tweedy, hiker.

From her first look – a rust colored suit of thickly felted wool, the skirt slit up the side to reveal inner layers of fabric and some leg, and the full jacket belted – to the last series of leather and fur versions of the same silhouette, the collection is built around the suit.

“What came out wasn’t what I started out” with, she said after her show in Milan on Sunday evening. “By the end – I loved those suits.”

Ms. Prada is arguably the most influential designer living today. And in her eyes, it’s time for women to return to suiting. We’re coming off of years where the dress has ruled – in store sales as well as on runways. “Suits are new, from a fashion point of view,” said Ms. Prada, smiling and looking pleased.

The collection was outstanding.

Associated Press
A model wears a creation as part of the Prada Fall/Winter 2009/2010 fashion collection.
One series of suits, coats and dresses was made with a large rose motif, etched in velvet. Those will be for the customers who want the look that will long say “Fall 09” to Prada aficionados. There were versions in mink thrown in for the fashion magazines – certainly not destined to sell in large numbers, but the runways set the tone for marketing. Hence, the fur hot pants.

There were also versions covered in rosettes of sequins and crystals – turning a day suit into evening wear. And in belt-like strips of leather. Something for everyone in the same silhouette.

Ms. Prada’s interested in the countryside led her to include plenty of sturdy accessories – big stomping hard-weather boots and high leather wading boots, for instance, which were attached like garters to leather belts around the models’ waists.

Still, it wasn’t a cheery collection. The models’ hair was teased and mussed until it looked ghostly. The core was all business without fun and games – which is just where we are with the economy these days. The bottom line for all designers is about “sell-through” – how much of their collections will sell in stores at full price.

Ms. Prada referred briefly to the business sense that contributed to her most recent collection, when she noted backstage, “From a commercial point of view, suits are … so new!”

WWD:

Where do city girl and country girl meet, sartorially speaking? If they hail from the great state of Prada, it’s at a place where blanket wools find a tailor; single outfits marry rough and refined, and the latest fetish boot is a hip-high, strapped-on fisherman’s wader. Here, high chic frolics with perversity — hair shorts, anyone? Yet the ample sexuality is never cheap, in large part because fabulous coats and suits — bears repeating: fabulous coats and suits! — offer elegant and sensible counterpoint to Milan’s current obsession with revved-up retro clubwear.

For the collection she showed on Sunday evening, Miuccia Prada wanted to evoke a countrified aura minus cliché and without sacrificing urbanity. The ruse made for a stellar collection in which she renewed her signature tailoring via split-open seams, some revealing flashes of bright red beneath their olives, blacks and browns. She expressed a serious fascination with the waist, belting endlessly, pulling woolen shorts over a ribbed red cardigan and using contrasting textures for the bodices and skirts of slashed-to-there dresses. Then she let go of the fixation with fabulous trapezes that swung out wide.

Prada strengthened the city-country counterpoint through her materials and her way with decoration, as solid and flocked velvets along with some major black-on-black embroideries made urbane stuff of sturdy woolens, leathers and unfussy furs. As for the leather-strip evening dresses — true, they channeled Lucy Lawless in Xena mode more than most girls might fancy for a night out, but the editorial set will likely approve.

No such limitation encumbered Prada’s accessories lineup. What girl wouldn’t love a colorful fur clutch when she only need carry her keys and some cash, or for greater utility, any one of a number of roomy, to-die-for beauties? And the shoes, whether a fringed, studded fantasy or simple blue velvet pump, were better than just gorgeous; they were walkable. Just like the lion’s share of Prada’s clothes. For all of the presentation’s intimate drama, most of the pieces will walk boldly right into real life, radiating real glamour.

Huh? Facing up to reality? With $10,000 fur vests? With $7000 "waders"??

Let's face Reality - designer fashion is *never* about the bread and butter reality, it's a luxury, it's escapist. It's probably a fantastic dream of Miuccia Prada herself to nurse this particular "Outdoor/Country/Gladiatrix/Warrior Women" fantasy. Where else would you wear those thigh-high boots except to a party? It's like Marie Antoinette playing Country Girl milking cows with her fake "village".

All else aside, this is another relatively normal p-a-p collection spiced up with fur dresses and thigh-high waders and wool shorts. Most of it is just wearable suits, velvet devore and embroidered brocade coats, "Anna Wintour" stuff, but you need some "extreme" elements to feed to the press, so they have something to write about, eg. the new Warrior Woman. In fact, she has done this before, in her previous acid fur Urban Warrior collection, which was more convincing, consistent and innovative, and which started the trend towards textures. It was panned at that time but the texture trend remains with us today.

Prada this season is so aggressive that it hurts (in a good way)...With this recession, i'm glad there are brands that still want to stick with their vision and not going commercial. So yah, i guess this season we are going on war...

very sharp contradiction
the palette is sober with a lot of restrained desire and fire
models behave cavemen and come back to the Stone Ages?
how ironic and cynical to today's so-called fashion industry
are these fashion victims & suckers really wannabes?
that should be a question mark on this collection
