Studs are one of the major trend of this year and absolutely the main topic of the Prada Fall/Winter collection 09/10. Handbags and shoes are encrusted with little studs on nappa and suede. The same for Prada accessories like belts, purses and wallets.

With most world-renewed designers collections and luxury sportswear labels, shopping online has never been so cool!
High heels have always had a sensual appeal, and a synonymous to femininity. This season, different to the “normal” heels, we find some really architectonic highnesses. Plateau, stilettos, chunky heels and wedge heels appear to be created simply to challenge our sense of vertigo!
Subtle and curved towards the sole is the icon heel of Roger Vivier, global evergreen when it comes to stilettos. Miu Miu on the other hand goes for bamboo this spring/summer collection 2009, where pumps with maxi platform and heel made in cork are found. This last material can be find as well in the Christian Dior heels combined with shinny colours.
Definitely more rock and rule-breaking the style signed Gucci and the no famous Iman sandals, half stiletto half gladiator sandal. Super plateau for Giuseppe Zanotti and for Prada and its platform sandals in raffia.
On the international catwalks snakeskin printed fabrics, there of python, have been frequently used…
But not only, even shoes and accessories are exotic and a bit dangerous. Like these Roberto Cavalli strass and enamelled snake bracelets on the photo or the Jimmy Choo shoes in black and white coloured python. Both easy ways to gently incorporate this slightly extreme fashion in your everyday style.
If you instead want to strike everybody at the party you should try these python printed Prada dresses, both available at Giglio.com. They are top fashion , extreme but still delicate in their earth coloured tones or classic black and white. The beige coloured Versace dress in the middle is on the opposite made in jacquard printed fabric, not quite so eye-catching but still very beautiful in its simplicity.
The undisputed queen as regards bags is the pretty, enchanting ,small but also comfortable clutch bag, that is becoming an indispensable accessory and a real must for women that like to fallow fashion and trends.
Up to now everyone, VIPs but also common people, wish have a designer clutch bag. Practical and simple to wear with jeans and t-shirt like the clutch bag of J.Lo, or a more precious and sophisticated one for the most important soirées, clutch bag is always present in our mise.
Designers suggest us various patterns for all types of personalities and requirements. For example Valentino propose us a simple and very sophisticated model, its sobriety is toned down by the particularity of the pink ruches and the touch of gold that gave a more frivolous look.
The clutch bag signed Prada, like that one of Valentino, is really romantic because of its color and also for the harmonious balance between the simplicity of the item and the use of precious gems. This peculiarities make these two bags so wonderful and refined.
An other clutch option could be that one proposed by Christian Dior fashion house, this bag is more particular, eccentric, unusual and provocative in the style. This bag seems to be perfect for women that want to be noticed because it’s quite impossible to go unnoticed.
As you can see all the main fashion designers gave importance to clutch bags in their collections, small accessories but only as regards size not for glamour!
Prada opens two new boutiques in Germany. The famous Italian brain chose like locations the capital, Berlin and Munich, two big cities that recently are having a real boom as regards fashion and luxury selling.
The plain was given to the Italian architect Roberto Baciocchi. The new boutique in Berlin is situated inside the big department store Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe). The luxury store of Berlin handles articles for women like bags, shoes and accessories, so it is completely dedicated to woman universe.
The Munich store is also situated inside a department store, the Oberpollingern in this case. This shop handles leather goods, accessories and shoes both for women and man.
We are yet in winter but Prada, has already showed us the new spring/summer 2009 collection. This prestigious fashion house as always has catch our attention for its out of the ordinary and refined style.
Today we are going to focus on accessories. This new collection is all characterized by vivid colors such as yellow, electric blue, green and obviously the inevitable violet, typical color of this last two years.
Golden chains as handles and precious trims, this are the main characteristics. The eccentricity of this new collection is better stressed also by metallic materials that make the vivid colors more and more brilliant. The result is an intriguing optical effect.
Bags and shoes like jewels are able to set every simple or anonymous clothes off. This accessories are extremely rich also because they are covered by colored gems. This accessories are so wonderful that probably they will be the new trend as regards next year spring/summer collection.
Nicole Kidman at the “Australia” Madrid premiere wore a gold and metallic minidress that belong to Prada ‘s spring/summer 2009 collection.
The dress is fresh, inventive and extremely up-to-date for the use of the metallic material and obviously also for the colour. Gold is the absolute monarch of these fall-winter collections.
This mini dress enhances the slim figure of Nicole Kidman and her beauty. The mise gave her a more young and lively look. Personally, I don’t like the choice of the shoes too showy for this dress, that is gaudy itself.
Lace is a 2008/09 fall-winter protagonist, a real trend at the moment. For ages laces have been the best fiends of woman. Chic, smart, precious material, lace was the sign of aristocratic people. Unfortunately this fabric recently had a tailing-off of interest but things are changed!
Prada, in his collection reproposes the use of lace, not as a simple ornamentation but sometimes as the real protagonist of his defilet. Dresses, skirts, shirts are all made of laces.
The elegance of this type of fabric and its ethereal beauty are emphasize by the use of delicate colours. White, old rose and beige this are the main used colours that recall the beauty and the purity of past style.
The lace on the skin makes an intriguing see-through effect, that render this item of clothing irresistible.
Ankle boots as must have of next 2008/09 fall winter fashion. Next winter you will find them in different combinations and fabrics.
Prada ankle boots: suede ankle boots by Prada, with a high 10 cm heel, ideal to sort you out for an elegant night out as a good accessory.
Gucci ankle boots: Gucci, in fact, personalizes its boots even more with the application of golden studs at the back for an extravagant final result.
Paciotti ankle boots: Paciotti prefers a more classical approach. He does go for the black suede boots, confident or the never ending variety that his choice implies, 12 cm high heel included.
Not to mention Fendi, least but not last, he suggests two different kind of ankle boots, a more classical one, in suede with a stunning heel, and a printed one, in black, faithful to the trend, with a 12 cm high heel.
Miuccia Prada’s turn at the Milan Fashion Week for her new 2009 spring summer collection. Experimental collection for Prada, with a combination of minimalist tones and a new sensuality. Prada collection is looking for new expressions. New materials and fabrics provide the prime essence of new creations, and unusual combinations arose too, either snake skin with coulisse or new chromatic effects.
Roberto Cavalli, in fact, sacrifices his animalier print and wild style, which brought him lots of fortune indeed, for a new romanticism. Lovely faience print dresses on stage, nice mini skirts, printed maxi dresses, and colours, lots of colours.
Here we go… Summer is not over yet and we are already up to what next 2009 summer fashion will be like. On the 20th of September the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana is going to get started the Milan Woman Fashion Week, an awaited event worldwide.
For one week, up to the 27th of September, I am going to witness for you the main designers collections and their suggestions for next summer. The calendar is full of your favourite names, like Frankie Morello, Roberto Cavalli, Giorgio Armani, Alberta Ferretti, Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Versace.
Today, I am going to show you some of the shots from Moschino Cheap&Chic 2009 summer collection. Moschino collections have always been known for their use of colours and light lines for a young woman with a strong self being and freedom seeking attitude. Dresses remind of dawns and sunsets, gently caressing shapes and picturing summery fantasies with flowery and rocky patterns. Free beach party style dresses, balloon style loose jackets for funny and relaxed time. Colours are those of summer, yellow, pink, light blue, white. As for me, the seventies taste of this collection is absolutely irresistible, and now…let’s images do the talking!!
We have already mentioned the lace pattern as next year Prada tendency.To give you a clue of Prada’s new collection then, I picked some of the most representative shots directly taken from Prada’s latest look book, where indeed, lots of photos from advertisements, runaway and backstage have been taken and morphed into authentically amazing digital masterpieces.
Magazine Pop got has been caught by the tendency too displaying many covers of the same edition dedicated to the Prada collection. The magazine suggested the provocative religious characters interpreted by famous top models like Naomi Campbell, Nadia Vodianova, Jourdan Dunn, Amber Valletta, all playing with their “pretend to be” religious side.
Actress Francesca Neri also in Venice as protagonist of Pupi Avati’s movie “Il papà di Giovanna”.
She, like many other stars, couldn’t resist this season trend: trimmed with lace dresses, and in particular, Prada trimmed with lace dresses.
For the premier of Pupi Avati’s movie she wore a black trimmed with lace dress from the fall winter 2008/09 Prada collection that is going to dominate next cold season.

Prada is synonymous with opulence and quality, considered as a proper status symbol. With its many boutiques found globally, with its European epicentre in Milan, Prada ensure only authenticity from its boutiques and online store, fighting against counterfeiting like many other brands. Miuccia Prada is the leading star of the brand which also inspired cinema in 2003 with the movie “The Devil wears Prada”. I found the online shop elegant and faithful to the brand history.
BRANDS: Prada
STOCK: handbags, travel, leather goods, gift, women’s shoes, men’s shoes, eyewear. Furthermore, many cultural initiatives.
WEBSITE FEATURE: The online store is very essential, no fuss around basically.

Goods are displayed on a virtual “tapis rouland”, that you scroll with your mouse. Pictures are very big and provide a clear idea of what the product looks like. The site doesn’t show any ornaments or so, which to me is fine! Unfortunately no clothes available.

Fantastic actress Charlize Theron captures my attention today thanks to her appearance for the premier of “Hancock”, featuring Will Smith, in Japan. On this occasion Charlize is wearing a beautiful sleeveless navy Prada dress with a wavy updo from the Prada Fall Collection 2008. The dress perfectly matches the delicate colours of the South African actress and exalts her beauty and class even more is ever possible! Prada is the designer of the moment, the brand appears in lots of magazines inspiring those who can’t resist to its peculiar style.
As for splendid Charlize Theron I would like to refresh her intense life and career starting with the Oscar she won in 2004 for her interpretation of serial killer Aileen Wournos in “Monster”. If you have strong guts you’ll be shocked watching her performance and her figure turning into the terribly awful bad looking and cruel serial killer. I must remind as well of Charlize Theron dramatic childhood, shaded by the presence of her violent and alcoholic father, Charles, who got killed for self defence by Charlize’s mom Gerda. Such a trauma had a strong impact on the actress who became very keen in supporting social causes and charity.
I loved Charlize Theron in other movies such as “The Devil’s Advocate” with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, and the remake of “The Italian job”.
In 2004 Charlize Theron signs up a contract with John Galliano and she becomes the new testimonial for the Dior’s perfume J’adore.
This summer choose the Sun bag to help the Veronesi Foundation gathering funds. Let’s thanks eBay for hosting this charity bids whose proceedings are going to the project “The days of science”. From the 10th of June till the 1st of July Borbonese will support the charity project and the Veronesi foundation.
