have you seen any of the pre-collection pieces. Everything is white and cotton. Alot of eyelet skirts and stuff. They are really pretty but super expensive for what the skirt is.

I went to Neimans yesterday and they had some really nice things.

I don't know what my feel for Prada will be this season because I bought so much at the Derek Lam trunk show.

I know I won't be buying any Prada handbags or any shoes probably.

I don't have a feel for what it will be like this season. Its making me nuts!

Yes. the pre-collection is amazing.... nothing like the showpieces. The eyelet skirt is beautiful, which goes with everything in the collection. They have some really nice tops and coats as well.

I have seen a bunch of stuff lately. It is beautiful. I saw the eyelet. My SA was pushing it on me but I couldn't fork out the 1800 for a white cotton skirt. No way. right?

I love the shoes. I am on th list for a few for spring.

I am interested to see some runway pieces.

MY SA took pics of the displays in the store before the Soho store burned down...but here is some eye candy so you can get a feel for what its going to look like.

Fabrics all linen, cotton and silk. Mostly linen.

Yeah the eyelet skirt was way too much for what it is, but they went fast. There are some really nice trench coats for spring, still don't know which one to buy. Shoes are great as well. Thanks for the pictures.

Edit: sh*t, it did burn. Poor Rem Koolhaas.

Prada clothed by blaze

BY CHRISTINA BOYLE, MELISSA GRACE and NANCY DILLON
DAILY NEWS WRITERS

It was a real bonfire of the vanities early yesterday as a five-alarm blaze ripped through the SoHo building housing Prada's $30 million flagship store and other outposts of chic.

The wind-swept fire at 575 Broadway caused a partial roof collapse at the posh basement restaurant Lure Fishbar and damaged the fourth-floor offices of makeup maven Bobbi Brown.

"It looks horrible inside. It looks like a war zone. It's a complete mess," Brown told the Daily News.

The building, formerly occupied by the Guggenheim Museum SoHo, is owned by millionaire Peter Brant, the husband of ex-Victoria's Secret siren Stephanie Seymour.

Brant Publications on the fifth floor is home to several magazines, including Interview, the pop-culture glossy founded by Andy Warhol in 1969.

The building was shuttered yesterday and will apparently need extensive repairs before it can reopen. Workers carried large paintings from the building yesterday although it's unclear if they were from the Guggenheim's remaining offices or Brant's collection of pieces by Warhol, Jeff Koons and Julian Schnabel.

Inside the Prada store, large puddles and shattered glass surrounded dusty mannequins. One staffer said the scene left her "in shock."

The flagship Prada store opened in December 2001 amid hoopla over its high-tech fitting rooms, where glass doors turn opaque at the push of a button and cameras show shoppers their backsides.

"I'm sure it's many millions of dollars of damage at Prada," said an FDNY source.

The fire, now under investigation, started at the street or basement level, the source said.

Seven Bravest and one civilian suffered minor injuries as 200 firefighters battled the blaze from 10 p.m. Saturday to 2:20 a.m. yesterday.

"There was smoke everywhere. It filled up so fast it made your eyes burn," said Lure Fishbar manager Tom Forrest. "There's water everywhere."

^ i was going to visit it this spring ..i hope it will be up and running in april

 

[guccigal07]

I am going to break up with my Pradalady this season. Tell her I need a break. I usually buy like 4-5 outfits from the runway but I am bored. The stuff is really nice...but just boring. Not at all like Fall 04 or Spring 04 where I couldn't get enough and still can't!

Spring 05 was nice with the feathers and crochet but last fall boring and this season boring boring boring.

I was in NYC shopping. My lady of course scheduled her vaca on top of my trip there before she knew I was coming...but....everything is boring. Boring cotton dress, yes beautiful, but boring for 2k. Just gets old...and blah. The new Prada emblems are just oh no.

So bored of Prada. I hope in a few weeks we are all blown away by the fall collection. She needs a gigantic boost.

 

[ALaFramboise]

all i have to say, s thank god this hasen't gone back to the rasta-ish things she used in the past? i was so visually displeased with it, but now, Ms.Miuccia is back on the hot-seat in my eyes

Oh, and dammit! that ruins my plans to go to the store this spring break.


I do hope that the paintings were not harmed! i loved warhol!! !! (Then again, who didn't)

 

[guccigal07]

Everything from the runway I have tried on this season has been horrible. Very very big and unfitted. I always buy 5 or so pieces a season and I have bought nothing this season.

I thought since the runway was not any good...I would get some collection pieces with key prints...got an approval box and the pleated skirts have elastic waist bands! forget that.

 

[ALaFramboise]

mmm, i know what you mean... i find that wth designers in general, but usually prada. it seems like everything is to big on me! i have a sz.29/30 waist, and i love fitted clothes, and prada's stuff seems much to big on me! (Cavalli on the other hand is much to tight) lol.

 

[*_Thais_*]

love...

I think the runway stuff is meant to be lose.....

 

[guccigal07]

It is but it doesn't look good on. Just isn't for me.

 

[nelnul]

Love how everything is loose. Slightly unproportionate. Everything's just hanging and flowy. It somehow screams comfort.

Love the bland colour choices too. Everything's appealing because it feels strangely 'imperfect' and 'wrong'.

Even though this collection appeared long time ago, it's growing on me. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

 

[iAMme]

it's ok. but always props :]

 

[Pastry]

from what i saw in the store, they made major changes after the runway show. the fit of everything is tighter, some of the stuff that was printed on on the runway is applique in the store (an attempt to justify the high prices?)....still lovely

 

[guccigal07]

this is the first season in about 5 years that I haven't bought 1 item of clothing. I only bought one runway shoe and I have gotten in a few dresses on approval. they all bore me and I am tried of them.

The fit is slightly tighter than the runway but not by alot.

Everything is pretty but dull and nothing I want to spend money on.

 

[Swank]

Some of the runway dresses are loose but yet pretty. But the shoese aren't as nice as what i see on the runway.

I usually buy Prada for work, and I think they have many choices besides the runway stuff.
