  Light, bright, and sparkly, Prada High Heels 2013 Orologi& Prejudice has made a grand entry in the emerging Young Adult fiction genre. It isn’t a Jane Austen sequel per se, but gently nods with reverence in Pride and Prejudice, introducing a hero and heroine whose connection and attributes readers will understand from Austen’s famous literary couple Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. With Austen being the grandmother of chick-lit, We’ve seen this premise used many times before in modern books; Bridget Jones’ Diary, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict and Twilight, and at the films You’ve Got Mail and Lost in Austen to name a few. In case Prada & Prejudice represents the next generation in Austen inspired fiction aimed for young readers (and those young at heart) we’re on quite good footing really. Well done. I recommend it highly for people in need of a quick escape, and a hearty laugh.Thanks Prada for once again completely befuddling me when it comes to high fashion. Because while I certainly love the layouts of classic American automobiles, I’d never have thought to employ their legendary spoilers and taillights to high-heeled shoes.But that is precisely what the firm has done with their 2012 spring collection. At least to a part of the shoe lineup, with absurd looking layouts featuring automotive components like spoilers, wings, lights, chrome accents, and even flames that hearken back into the hot rod culture of the 1950s. I’ve no idea just how much these monstrosities can cost, but using a Prada emblem somewhere on the market you can guarantee they’ll be expensive. But I’m sure that won’t cease fashionistas from snatching them up. [Hungeree via Coudal]

  In 1971, Linda Nochlin written a landmark essay for ARTnews titled Why Have There Been No Fantastic Female Artists? The provocative part was an answer to some casual comment by noted gallerist Richard Feigen about having difficulty finding “girls musicians.” “It made me think, because, first of all, it suggested that there were no great women artists. Secondly, because it supposed this was a natural condition. “The pioneering scholar of art criticism and history died on Oct. 29, but not before Prada’s Spring 2018 series offered a response to her original question (coincidentally, Nochlin’s query also showed up on a T-shirt in Christian Dior’s collection). Prada’s mixed-media garments encrusted with buttons or pyramid studs feature the artwork of eight women cartoonists. As a fan of the comics medium, designer Miuccia Prada’s options are eclectic and after remixed and re-contextualized with one another into textiles, provide a fresh take on storytelling and complicated feminine identities.Designer Miuccia Prada goes racy and dangerous in her automotive-inspired 2012 Spring series. Bold colors and sharp angles of tailfins and flame paint interplay with all the iconic and incredibly feminine stiletto and wedge. For inspiration, Prada appeared no further than 1950s American cars (like hot rods along with the Chevy Bel Air.) The collection also has auto prints on skirts, coats, and bags.

  And it is fairly common, whether on the catwalks of New York, London, Milan or Paris, to find women slipping out of the shoes and walking barefoot, high heels hand, to complete their “departure”.Away from the catwalk, also, the skyscraper heels along with also the platform only would be the shoe du jour, but the wearer is usually only choosing her way gingerly into a waiting limousine – she does not confront a 100ft strut in front of an audience of hundreds, and of course that the video cameras and also the telephoto lenses of the world’s photographers, all of these poised to record for posterity any false step.Naomi Campbell’s famous topple out of her almost 12in top Vivienne Westwood mock-croc platforms in the designer’s Anglomania show in Paris in 1993 has been the stuff of style legend.Naomi’s pride might have been dented, and she had been tumbling to soft carpet, which marginally cushioned her fall. But at least she giggled.No one is laughing now.

They are in very good preowned condition with as they were used only a few times. Celebrate the winter season in style with these amazing Prada boots. Is this really the height of fashion? Hilary Alexander is worried by the latest skyscraper heels on the catwalkThe girls looked just like rabbits trapped in the headlights; their faces tight and unsmiling, their eyes wide with fear and apprehension. Were they about to undertake a parachute jump? Or be faced by a monstrous tarantula in the bath?None of the above. All they were doing was trying to negotiate the catwalk at Prada during this week’s Milan fashion shows in shoes which were virtually impossible to walk in.At least two versions tripped and dropped on to the cement flooring; others wobbled and stumbled, teetering and tottering, obviously in agony, and all the while their minds were fixated on only 1 thing: attaining the sanctuary and safety of their backstage area without suffering an identical fate.Backstage, after the show, 1 model told me exactly what it was like. “My hands were shaking. The heels were significant. A few of the girls were in tears, they were scared. “Who could blame them?The platforms had heels which were at least five inches high, balanced platform soles which were almost as tall, and were often kept around the feet with the flimsiest of straps.The designer, Miuccia Prada, meanwhile, greeted well-wishers and foreign press following the show wearing a comfortable pair of flat shoes which were as practical as the easy green sweater and white shirt she wore, albeit articulated into a pale brown latex skirt.The shoes utilized during the series were secure, she insisted.
