The ideal socks

  Loading up tones of images at Topshop, trying to find pale coloured pieces for the next post, I discovered the perfect pair of socks for Prada's car shoes.

 Those flames add the perfect finishing touch to the whole racing car outfit. Isn't it the greatest match for these shoes?

And imagine it with a dress of the same collection with the "flames" finishing...
like this:

Isn't it lovely?
On the other hand, it's a great suggestion too for all of us that cannot afford neither a Prada dress nor these shoes. In this case, these socks are the ideal piece to make us feel as "fast and furious" as the Prada girls...

First Spring

   This is "First Spring", a  short film directed by the Chinese photographer and video artist Yang Fudong. It was the Prada campaign video for S/S 2010. My boyfriend run into it the other day while looking for Fudong's photography and since the moment he showed it to me I fall in love with his work.

Such great artists are rare...

PRADA's car collection

  Miuccia Prada chose a playful theme for her S/S 2012 collection: 50's cars. And her idea payed of. Of course, the whole collection exhaled a totally late '50s-early '60s atmosphere generally, and the "Sweetness" that Miuccia was looking for, specifically.
   The sweetness consisted of accordion-pleated sunray skirts and dresses -with car prints or not- in the style of Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven Year Itch" film. But under these we didn't see Monroe's classy heels, but a humorous car version of classic heels (playing with the kitsch element). The floral lace coats and loose varsity jackets looking like they were borrowed from the Elvis inspired men's collection couldn't be absent from the collection as also the yearning-for-pinup-silhouettes swimsuits.
  As for the bags, which has been an essential accessory of Prada collections since Miuccia took over the label, it was a big hit. Either car-printed or not, the vintage style grandma's purses and clutch bags completed the whole style. May this collection risked to seem a bit too funny, but eventually Miuccia won the toss towards herself by creating another great collection with her unique way...

And today I discovered these totally unconventional tights by les queues de Sardines which would match perfectly with a Prada car-shoe. As for me I'm gonna have a pair of them with or without Prada's car shoe, just to add a funny touch in one of those moody days...
