Prada RW F/W 2011.

The other day I watched Prada's Ready to Wear F/W 2011 collection. I was not particularly blown away as others had previously stated throughout twitter and the blogs. I'm not going to be a hater on anything because there were a few styles I did enjoy. I enjoyed the unusual shape of the heels on the boots and how she incorporated the sweet MaryJane style with an edge of snakeskin(although, how i wished it was faux). They gave the illusion of tall socks with MaryJane's. Which was a big trend this past f/w. The dresses were all very 60's mod. Which is an era I am intrigued with.

What I did not appreciate was the vase amounts of fur. I am not a FULL vegetarian but I do believe that fur is unacceptable in any aspect. The way that the animal is tortured in order to achieve their beautiful coat is despicable. There could have been other choices such as faux fur/ snakeskin and python to obtain the glamour affect that she was trying to achieve. Also, why were the models clutching the purses so tightly to their chest? (or shall I say lack there of) One could not see the design or shape of the bag. Last but not least, not in love with the oversized pailletes. It reminded me of fish scales and mermaids. I understand she was trying to take sequins, snakeskin, fur and the color pink back to a glamorous point of view but for me it just didn't sit well. But hey, to each their own, right?



All in all I give it a 6. What did you think?
