Surprises at Prada

Prada is always full of surprises with all the exclusive models that they nabbed every season.

But this season is more than that; they surprisingly cast not one, not two but 3 Victoria's Secret models (Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr).

Aussies Catherine McNeil walked for the first time after a year long break from the runway and Abbey Lee Kershaw walked for Prada after debuting 2 years ago.

There's no Sasha, Freja and Ymre and regulars like Anabela Belikova, Irina Kulikova, Hanne and Nimue were not cast.

Headless Trend?

How cool is this?



Celine and Prada both opt to preview their campaigns by showing only the collections without focusing on the model. Celine is focusly simplistic , only showing strictly the clothes and bags - cropping out the models head. Meanwhile, Prada left us with stunning mannequin like images fronted by Rasa Zukauskaite.

A First

In a very long time (or never), exclusive runway spots at Gucci and Prada are never meant for Asian models. But, it is to change this season by having Liu Wen in both of the coveted spot. Liu Wen had been actively walking down the runway for all fashion capital cities since her debut. But, this is her first time walking for Gucci and Prada and also, may I say, the first time (or in a very long time) both brands ever cast an Asian girl to walk their runway. Last season, Liu Wen walked the most shows along side Yulia Kharlapanova. Liu Wen was everywhere this season albeit a more toned down schedule if compared to last season. One more capital left, any more surprises from Liu Wen? This we'll just have to wait and see.

It just keeps getting better

Remember when the first Prada SS09 image first appeared? It is so good that almost every fashion blogs posted them including yours truly. Now more images emerged as it is getting nearer to the Spring season. Here's a few that's totally outstanding. This is officially the best SS09 campaign.

Just so PRADA

Prada S/S 2009

The long awaited campaign finally emerged ! But I am clueless as to who is who?? They are all newcomers and looks exactly the same! But I kinda like this campaign, it may look boring but at least they're showing the clothes - not the celebrity endorsing it!!

These heels are not made for walking- Yohji Yamamoto Understands

Surely nobody wants to end up like this models who fell at the Prada show. Poor girl, if only there are more designers like Yohji...













Relax your feet girls, Yohji Yamamoto lets you wear flat shoes.
