Prada Loves Market

Now here's one market i'd love to visit! Miuccia Prada is an original thinker alright... the fashion house decided to throw a party in... well, a wet market... the kind that sells fresh produce and meat! of course they probably clean and scrubbed the whole place like never before...


the tables are scattered all over the area. even though its a wet market initially, the place is nothing short of luxe. I'd expect more than half if not all of the people who were invited to the party probably has never stepped into a market before.. let alone eat in one.. hahahha


what's even more interesting though, isthe fact that they left some of the stalls intact... while some other displays prada's work. like this one below that showcases the turban in various alluring colors... *yummy*


p.s. its been confirmed that fashionerd is heading down under once again! (translation: no more stockist hunting)

RESURRECTED

Remember Helmut Lang? The man who made the skinny skinny jeans, but later sold his name to the Prada Group only to walk out a little later.

The continuation of that story was that Prada sold the brand once again, because it wasnt producing enough money of course, to some Japanese company who has now hired Nicole and Michael Colovos (who also walked out of a label they founded, Habitual. but that is another little story) as the creative director.

Hush hush, the Japanese company actually asked Lang to come back but it was said that he "respectfully declined". sigh.

Sans Lang himself aside, i think the new collection is very appealing and wearable. Somehow I can actually feel Lang in the s/s07 collection but it is still very much the Colovos'. The hardcore Lang fans might not approve just yet, but for those who are less of an elitist, it may be time to give your plastic a little work out.

There is no stokist in Singapore (yet), but it is available online at shopbop.com. For all other stokist refer to www.helmutlang.com

The Turban - my next disastrous fashion move?
