Prada s/s 08 Milan
Here comes Prada also known as the most awaited show in Milan. Surprises ? Always. Crushes ? Always. And all those people who don't like it first and will be totally converted within a few weeks. That's a part of Prada's charms. The casting also. Huge speculations around "who's gonna open the show" already ran for months. It was finally Adina who was leading the "Prada-girls" group, opening the collection in green, dark green and printed silk. Reminiscences of Miuccia's latest works are metling well in some new ideas, new moods sometimes totally different. She goes forward and backward in terms of time, picking up references everywhere that turn into a brand new collection. It's rich of prints, printed silk. Some translucent fabrics for sure. And those skirts, all in length and volumes I already enjoyed in Miuccia's resort collections even if the atmosphere and the mood were totally different. Collars are to watch for and are properly saying eye-catching. And ditto on this blue outfit, close to the body from neck to calves, marvelously spotted by vivid red polkadots.
