wow ^ that's way more interesting that what's in this collection
both fabrics are really beautiful
i'm so accustomed to the idea Prada.com is just a website with an image on it and no links..that I keep forgetting it's not like that anymore.. I should visit more often!
they are just like trend forecasting boards
lots of inspiration
&
seem to have a concept behind them . does anyone know if they had a lookbook like that for s/s 2008 ? the faerie collection
i know they did one for s/s 07 and f/w 07
What are these weird orthopaedic brown straps on the shoes? I've been worried about it since I saw them on the runway and coveted them. If I go into a Prada store and see all those fabulous shoes sporting those atrocities I'm walking right back out . Is it that the shoes are too heavy to be worn without them or what?

^ It's most likely for the runway. Models don't always have the right size shoes as it is, the girls were walking down a slanted ramp and of all shoe styles d'Orsays would probably be the most likely to fall off.
My guess is they're not being sold with the elastic bands.

^^ OK. I only asked because Charlize Theron was lately pictured in full-out Prada at some media event complete with the gorgeous blue&black shoes...with the brown strap. My heart crumpled in my chest . (Not really but...they looked awful .)

What makes it hard to know is that this is Prada, she's likely to intentionally screw something up.

*sigh* I know. Thanks for the help anyway . I suppose I'll just have to wait until I get to a store to see for myself. I've been keeping an eagle eye out in editorials and some shoes have had had it while others haven't...so I can't tell from them either.

i am afraid i've seen the shoes with the "weird orthopaedic brown straps" in stores...
but maybe it's done so that you can remove it!
