The fierce, studded designer armor the models of the Prada Fall 2012 collection presented was a mix of biker-chic and glam. Incorporating small bursts of color, the all-black ensembles fit perfectly with the models' heavy-lidded, dark makeup. The motorcycle jackets were a standout of the collection, reinventing the concept of a non-leather studded jacket. Using cloth to create the edgy jackets, the standard biker look was revamped to create a more office-appropriate style under designer Miuccia Prada's vision.
Offering dresses, pants, pant-suits and jackets with this design, the fall collection is adorned with buckles, gems and glitz to become a staple of the upcoming fall look. With luxurious textures, including sturdy cloths, scaled bags and glimmery ornaments, the Prada 2012 Fall collection is a focused new take on a classic style.
