prada primavera 2009
i have to say...and this is no surprise for those that know my tastes, i love it.
i love the bras and washed fabrics, the red, the prints. there is such an ease about 
this collection-it is reminiscent of about three springs back, remember with the 
socks and hot pink shoes-
but also of early 2000s prada, but the feeling now is updated and quicker than current.
this is significant, where everyone (nyc!!) is just throwing up malibu colours on every
jacket and legging in sight-this is balanced. of course cafe and espresso and cherry
are the ideal summer vacation hues, it seems perfectly obvious now its in front of us.
the pulled together and tied together, but really the 'untie me, darling'
its miuccia and sex at one of her best.
the fabrics have a lovely lived in appeal. she looks rummaged but oh so good, fresh
and clean. 1950s shape of the halter combined with the off shoulder sleeve-
why don't we see more of this? its so beautifully complementary to a woman.
this fish print is a dream. i love it when she takes on the animals.
its the humor in it all, its childlike and combined with the roughed up washed up
1950s beach house secret sex goddess-its brilliant!

pour moi, prada seems to be of the next moment and this i would say makes
it difficult to compare collections past and to come.
autumns lace is a stand alone in its vision and innovation.
spring 08 always holds a dear place in my heart-yes i still want to look like a hendrix
tripping fairly lady, but maybe not in this moment.
but this is all of what appeals to you and your senses.

so fuck yeah, oil my collarbones, dress me in latte shades and fuck me shoes and 
send me to portofino, i'm ready for low tide.
