Prada S/S 06 Milan

Very innocent looking.

Uh what exactly is similar in those looks besides the visor? Marc Jacobs doesn't have a copyright on a style of hat. Come on, people. Yes imitation is rampant in fashion design but I somehow doubt Miuccia enters her design studio armed with a Louis Vuitton catalog from six years ago.

Ermmm ... but those aren't even visors at Vuitton, they're baseball caps ... true, both started as luggage companies ... and still make luggage ...

I thought the comment in style.com review that the luggage represented the baggage of Prada's past sounded right on ...

 

[justinleaddict]

I like the idea, and think they pulled it off. Although, it is definitely not my style. I do like some of the bags and luggage and sunglasses.

I'm sorry, but it feels like Vuitton here and there . . .

agreed.. just the image of miucia with an old LV catalogue in hand made me laugh out loud, she certainly doesnt need that

I'd rather say the "plain" in LV looks is from Prada:-P

yes, i need to know that as well!
thanks a lot for the links, ErichB!!

and i must admit that the collection looks way better on the runway than in the pics, there is more sophistication to it......

Ok, when I said that 'Miuccia been looking in the archives', I meant more generally that in this collection she's not giving us anything breaking new, at least not to me. Too much reminds me of what we've seen before.

Of course, I can't imagine myself her with an old LV catalogue, but when I saw the luggage on the catwalk and the caps, I couldn't help thinking of Vuitton.

 

[droogist]

Thanks for the video links, ErichB.

i didn't know you were such a fan of prada....

lol Neither did I, it's a little disconcerting...Admittedly I've always liked the Prada mainline collection, but in the past few seasons I've developed a deeper affinity for it - I feel like I understand what she's trying to do. There's a self-awareness to Prada that I find fascinating. It seems like Miuccia knows exactly where the label needs to be - at the head of the pack, but not ahead of it - and with each new collection she deliberately works out a new way to stay there. Balancing creative and commercial impulses is nothing new, of course, but lately Prada just seems to be doing it better, and more consistently, than anyone else.

 

[LibertyRose]

I fear this is a very desperate cry for commercial viability. The bags and the luggages take center stage because accessories are what will save Prada.

There is nothing original about this collection. Since last season, Prada's bags and shoe appeared heavily borrowed from the late '90s. Now Miuccia is ripping herself off for the ready-to-wear as well--not from Prada, but from Miu Miu! The bra-and-brief ensemble is a look lifted from the secondary line. Unapologetically cheap.

 

[hugobossdaria]

i love it

 

[electricringo]

I love this collection, and the bags are handled in a very unique way.

...overall I think it is mediocre. I am not sure if this has been discussed yet, but I feel like alot of the shoes have winter shapes...and they have just been given a peep toe or a different fabric. Just a thought

 

[Colette_B]

the dresses, the shoes, i'm not typically a prada fan, but this collection is down right awesome

 

[brian]

strongly dislike.
although a few of the accessories are palatable.

 

[pradaheaven]

collection

finally people to talk Prada with! Does anyone have their list of what they want for spring runway already?
