Prada S/S 2009 Milan

you know when prada is resting for a bit when you immediately like the collection even though you always had to ponder for collections from before. haha
i was rather surprised at how "normal" prada looked when i saw a picture of falling model in the newspaper
 
This collection was brilliant.
Count on Miuccia to take something and make it as elegant as can be.
The girls indeed looked like Sirens, pure elegant and whimsical,
something out of a painting.
The shoes are AMAZING, if you can't walk in them, don't buy them!
 
I've been thinking about this collection randomly.
And now it's been a while since it was shown I have shed the Judge Before I See attitude and I'm thinking I might like it.

I want to see the video to give it my ultimate verdict.
 
yes :P prada fans..
also: if you click the video you can watch it a bit bigger
high quality vid
 
all those ribbon detailings....sorry but i find those awfully derivative of roksanda ilincic...and some of the other textures....SO Rodarte!

not impressed.

When i look at this collection again, i really can see it from your point of view, the volume in the dresses definitely reminds me of roksanda ilincic. The rodarte reference isnt familiar when i first looked at it but the video definitely helped this time.
 
Looking at the full video i'm not exactly struck by it.
I do like the rigidity of the pieces though - I like structure and non-flowing lines.
My favourite looks are the gold pieces.

Sadly, I must concede that I've reluctantly grown to like it, too.
Especially the actual RTW results. Suddenly all the rumples and creases seem to make sense. :innocent:
 
I just went to the local Prada shop and the new Spring 09 pieces are already up on the racks. After feeling the material and seeing it in real life I really like the texture of the crumpled pieces. It is stiffer than I thought it would be, but it is wearable material. The bags look hideous though, no difference between a garbage bag, I am serious, it's like cheap patent.

Oh and the shoes, I didn't see the socks. But even the mannequin can't wear it properly :lol: :shock:
 
they always have interesting ideas/ stories:heart: thank you cinnamaranth

something ancient...
 
I LOVE Prada lookbooks. Thank you so much for posting!

I especially love the three-headed Ymre.

someone on another board said that if you try to buy the mini socks/footies that the prada boutiques will make you sign a disclaimer saying it's not their fault if you get injured. LOL!
