Prada held a Spring/Summer Women's 2008 Fashion Auction recently of a collection of prototype garments, footwear and handbags. Intense in color, design and decoration, the ultra-flared silk gazar bottomline pants, silk gazar skirts, boots and handbags are chic, very colorful and not for the faint of heart or conservative dressers.
The prototypes were used to develop the spring/summer collections, and they infuse lively colors into a print of carnivorous flowers, dragons, and mysterious nymphs.
Kitsch is the name of the game here and if the devil does in fact wears Prada, then this must be the punishment for his transgressions.
