Rebel Rebel: Prada Resort 07/08


I am diggin’ this collection, aside from the floral pantsuits of course, those are enough to make me scream. I really hope this isn’t a trend because I saw them in the YSL Resort collection too, yuck. However, when I first saw this I thought the prints were tacky, which they are, but the silhouettes make them work. That makes the whole collection a bit quirky. It was surprising to see at first because this is so different from what we have been seeing from Prada lately. This is more ladylike and feminine, while last season it was more masculine and futuristic. I’m somewhat getting a Dries vibe here though he would never use those prints. Though some of it doesn’t look very wearable, it’s very pretty and appropriate for spring. It’s fresh and old at the same time. This collection somewhat reminds me of “I Love Lucy” and some may say it’s tacky but seriously, who doesn’t love Lucy? There were a few pieces that really stood out to me like that draped tucked gold dress and the shapely floral skirts were lovely too. The shoes are also nice but safe, and kind of boring. Overall I’d say that Miuccia is a font of creativity. Whenever you think you have figured out her inspiration and direction, she completely changes the game.
