If your grandma was a stylish amazing classic woman! I find prada infinitely better, and with peices that are much more classic and of better quality
It gives a woman class rather than skankiness - but I guess opinions differ

I think trends often determine which age group your looking at. I mean Prada is like 45 + which not being rude would look mighty funny in that versace dress. Then theres more mainstream designers like Sass & Bide who are trying to pull off the conservative look but aren't having much luck. The 16 - 40 year old demographic is looking at D&G, Gucci, DKNY, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen etc,etc,etc. The only time conservative is in is winter when its to cold for 'skank' clothing.

'End of sex'? Sex sells, men are the audience in this case and they love sex. Is Prada planning on executing the male species?

I don't think it's a "new" definition, as in never-seen-before, but I don't think it's a broadening either. Sex, sexiness and looking good has always been important, it's just that society's definition of what's fresh and exciting/provocative vs. stale and trashy keeps changing.Originally posted by softgrey@Apr 20th, 2004 - 8:11 pm
i don't think it's a 'new' definition so much as a broadening of the term...just as there are different kinds of sex...there are different kinds of sexy...i think the definitionis expanding ...
that sexy, drag queen versace stuff will always have its market...but now there are better options for someone like me, for example, who prefer to be appreciated and respected for the things they have to say rather than their T&A... B)

like in this case...this one reminds me of a curtain from the 19th centuryOriginally posted by ignitioned32@Apr 20th, 2004 - 7:17 am
I'm with you too Cicc.![]()
I love this dress too, and I'm only 17. Ok, maybe 'new' wasn't the best word to use, but an alternate definition of sexiness. I think you all raised really good points, the blatant p*rn*gr*ph*c sexuality is always going to have its audience and fans, but just the dominant 'trend' (not the best word either) - ok, the dominant ambience is going to be more subdued, since we're all shocked out (another masturbation ad for Gucci/Ungaro/etc? *Yawn*). It's like how even Prada even got into the sex thing with its see through raincoat and getting Eva H on the catwalk, and the latest Versace show's daywear was more conservative. Oh and just because I like Prada and a more subtle sexuality, doesn't mean I don't like Gucci or hate Versace.Originally posted by dr.shoegal@Apr 21st, 2004 - 6:36 am
wow... Prada for the 40+? Okay. I never thought of Prada like that. Anyone else? I'm only 24 and quite like a lot of what Prada comes out with.... For example, I am abosolutely in love with this dress.... Somehow I don't think it would look that great on my grandma (sorry grandma), but then you never know.... lol

I can think of several of my friends (40+) who would look stunning in that dress.Originally posted by dr.shoegal@Apr 20th, 2004 - 2:36 pm

Oh just noticed thanks igniOriginally posted by dr.shoegal@Apr 21st, 2004 - 12:44 pm
Wow, you must have all have grandmas that are really young...And besides, I referenced MY grandma....
Second, when i said "Prada for the 40+"? I meant in reference to someone who stated that was the age range for Prada. What I'm saying is that it's for young people as well. It's not prude and conservative....
I mean.. I personally find PRADA to be something that my great great great grandma would wear... = too old!! but THATS ME!!
But I'm guessing that 60% HATE IT & the other 40% LIKE IT[/color]
I'm with you dr.shoegal. I thought you were talking about this comment before, right?
Actually I was thinking about this one:I mean.. I personally find PRADA to be something that my great great great grandma would wear... = too old!! but THATS ME!!

But your quote works too, lol.![]()
