Trendy Milan Fashion Week Report


Country chic meets city glam in Miuccia Prada's Sunday night viewing of her fall '09 runway show in Milan. It was a collection that explained the beauty and origin of intertwining the simple basics with rougher more complex fabrics. Prada is known for her immaculate tailoring but she still made room for certain "imperfections" like split-open seams that show a surprising hint of bright red against the olive or brown background. There was also a lot of attention paid to the waist with her great use of belts of all textures and sizes. The hip-high boots were also a much beloved accessory that has been slowly but surely making its mark this season so by fall '09 it should become a staple. So the first theme of the Milan runway hinges on the bold and daring and the merging of different walks of life to create that striking , romantic and rugged look. Now thats a challenge any fashionista will gladly take on.
