This amazing coat by Prada comes straight from the runway of SS14. While the collection is spectacular and it reflects in perfect way how the fashion genius of Miuccia Prada links with art, this coat is definitely the must-have. With a printed face of a women (notice that one eye is embroidered!) kept in nice, earthy colour palette, the shoulder-point coat is surely a thing to invest. If you have a spare 3000 euros, of course.
Located in an underground garage or passage in the centre of Milan, the AW14 Menswear show of Prada just took place. Miuccia Prada as always did a good job. But, she didn’t out-stand herself unfortunately. The collection was combined with women’s Pre-Fall’14 pieces that really supported menswear. The man clothes were too “not” neat- 70’s inspired oversized trousers, unitarian vests, shubby fur coats and horrible colours of brown were present here. But women part was amazing! Bright coloured leather dresses? Totally fine. Sexy femme fatale blouses worn with fur scarves? Indeed. In other words, Miuccia tried something new (well, not literally new but more… forgotten?) in men fashion, but for me it didn’t go well. But for women (the models- Amanda Murphy, Jamie Bochert… gosh!) she created new timeless classics that will need to have place in every woman’s classy wardrobe.
Everything done by Miuccia Prada works on me. Her SS14 collection for Prada was the best collection of the season! Art, fashion and women power was never so linked together as now, when Prada’s theme of the collection are crystals, fur and prints… I was just on the press day of Prada’s SS14 accessories, and I should say, I am mesmerized. The nerdish sandals never looked so good. And then heels? Oh My Prada God. These acidic colours were so amazing! The Resort 2014 inspired with Hawaii is also a piece of art- everything is so embroidered and fragile. My favourite is the red floral dress… Great for every occasion! In other words, Prada nailed it this season. As always.

Miu Miu SS14 was presented in a beautiful way during the last day of Paris Fashion Week. The collection was something more sophisticated than Brazilian polka dots or cat prints- that was a fashionable grandma party in Miuccia Prada edition. Kept in pastel colours, delicate coats and a bit kitschy dresses in the knee lengths looked chic but at the same time elegant. Just like one of these ladies from Advanced Style blog, the collection was very mature, and a bit reminded of artistic Summer 2014 at Prada’s main line in Milan. Embroidered ball dresses looked perfect for a ballet or opera gala and the shoes… Oh i love Miu Miu always for it’s fantastic shoes! So fairy-tale! The younger label of Prada is mixing old with new chic, and the fashion month… Ended today. So, now lets only wait till the next March for AW14…
