Prada Mens F/W 2008.09 Milan

[BettinaBuffe]

what's wrong with just pretty nowadays? Everything has to border on being absolutely ridiculous nowadays in order to be 'fashion forward' and 'innovative'.

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.

 

[cutxpaste]

wtf was miuccia smoking when she came up with this one

 

[Crakk]

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...

bryanboy seems very interested into the microskirt.....

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!"

 

[Salvatore]

It'd be cute..........

 

[shutterbug]

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

 

[JeanAvril]

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.

 

[BerlinRocks]

^i can see you're a woman......
how can i pee with the zipper on the side of the pants?????????

i get it Miuccia wants to see men suffering the way women suffer for ages.... because of us........

of course there are some good stuff....
i like the motif dégradé shirts....
this beautiful techno dégradé heart is cute....

but some stuff are not really easy for a man.....

 

[Miss Dalloway]

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!

 

[masquerade]

Oh Miuccia, give me a break. Those skirts look foolish and you know they do. Gaultier did that decades ago, and it was at least sincere.

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.

 

[Spike413]

^ 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.

 

[meowmix]

hmmm i wonder if that skirt would fit me

 

[TomFordforGucci]

I'm surprised by how shocked some people are.
Isn't it always this way? Aren't the Prada collections always "different"?
People always seem to conspicuously have a love-and-hate type of relationship with Miuccia.

oy.............vey.......

surely there is a difference between "different" in terms of making something beautiful that hasn't been done before... but then there's also "different" for the sake of being, as style_expert put it, "innovative" or "fashion forward"... and i really think one can see the contrast in the results from two

oh god.....

 

[BettinaBuffe]

bryanboy seems very interested into the microskirt.....

i want to wear the skin coloured top with the white shirt cuffs underneath em

the metallic purple microskirt

and nothing but a black thong (think gucci tom ford thong) underneath it

paired off with st.tropez tanned and smooth legs (have to wax)

and oh i dunno, maybe black flip flops.
