MILAN - RTW S/S 2008


Prada – The Space. The Prada loft space was transformed into three circles. The Video screens showed colored patterns, like action paintings, as the models walked the figure of eight runways. Art meets fashion. The slim silhouette, were most unusual and interesting in the collection. I also loved the use of lots and lots of slim pants with very long and slim cardigan like tops for daytime and the gold pieces mixed with double cotton tank tops for evening. All the new retro-ish inspired patterns from plaids, to checks, to flower prints were unexpected and fresh in the Prada Spring Summer collection.


Prada. I loved the gold gathered skirt with the cotton tank top, the patterned tights and funky shoes for the evening.


Prada – The Make-Up. The make-up was very bold on the eyes, smudgy , funky and wild.


Prada - Backstage. The line to go backstage to say hello to Miuccia Prada after the Prada show is always very long and you can easily wait in line for even twenty minutes. It was a surprise; therefore, that Andre Leon Talley came twice. Pictured above with Miuccia and with Michael Roberts, Andre kept saying “I love this and I loved that, I loved……….”
