Prada SS11
If the fur trend hasn't caught your eye yet, the dayglo interpretation at the Prada Spring 2011 show in Milan is sure to get your attention. Eye catching, indeed! The fur scarves in bright orange, green, blue and pink certainly looked lush and plush, which we'd expect from the fashion house. But they also looked a bit cartoonish - almost like a child's stuffed toy. It added a playful touch to a collection that was full of bold, artistic, baroque-inspired designs.
“I started from the simplicity of the men’s collection — but I wanted it to be like a musical as a symbol of boldness,” Miuccia Prada told The New York Times' Suzy Menkes.
