But Bagaholic Babe knew, from their Fall/Winter 2008 showing at Milan Fashion Week earlier this year, that this coming season would <b>NOT</b> be one that I will be looking forward to. Why? Well, simply because everything from their F/W '08 is made of Lace. I've never been a fan of lace, not even on my clothes (plus the fact that I'm allergic to lace helps because my mum wouldn't have dared to put me in anything lacey when I was young due to the fear of me breaking out in a rash all over) simply because it looks well, rather erm...granny-ish, imho. I may be a total girly girl, but lace really isn't my thing. I thought the lace bags (mostly in black) were distasteful enough, but let's just say that what I saw at Prada's Milan Fashion Week show did not at all prepare me for THIS...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOV9Z8Kv7JY8m5PT8v7IQgRHFlr2jFnMmLw1xWmP2d_-ISTIYj51orhHH2IfFosQPvQfW6dnezCGEvuWJMpMwH_QM1oMNWx0icD85Uu2HT0O_8-QreuBs1Bms1SmtDczq2-dZjvIEXiWf9/s1600-h/Prada+Lace+Runway+F:W08.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOV9Z8Kv7JY8m5PT8v7IQgRHFlr2jFnMmLw1xWmP2d_-ISTIYj51orhHH2IfFosQPvQfW6dnezCGEvuWJMpMwH_QM1oMNWx0icD85Uu2HT0O_8-QreuBs1Bms1SmtDczq2-dZjvIEXiWf9/s400/Prada+Lace+Runway+F:W08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226843713232358706" border="0"></a><br /><br />Yes, now that you've seen it, it's a <b>Showstopper</b> in every way isn't it? Pity it isn't for the right reasons. This my dear BagAddicts, is the new 'Pizzo S' satchel that is made of nappa leather with lace overaly and ruched details on its edges. Man, this may definitely be a bag that only Morticia Addams from the Addams Family would carry. My dear Miuccia, what exactly were you thinking? I guess for 2 years now, Prada's Fall/Winter stuff seem rather err....peculiar. Last year it was the fringed nappa tote that resembled an Afghan dog from afar, and this year, its THIS... or rather, the lace collection in general. I guess F/W aren't really inspiring times for the House of Prada as Spring/Summer collections are <span style="font-weight: bold;">milestones</span> better. Ah well, what can I say. Fashion has its ups and downs and not everyone has to agree. Beauty, after all, is in the eyes of the beholder...<br /><br />For those of you who disagree with me, this Prada 'Pizzo S' satchel can be <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pre-Ordered</span> for $1,995 via <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446191598&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492709740&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474399545537&bmUID=1216963939932&ev19=1:3"> Saks </a href>.Bagaholic Babehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07544638027588443348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540654027862139469.post-33228150515245853742008-03-28T21:38:00.014+08:002008-03-30T01:47:59.507+08:00Prada F/W '08This season, Miuccia Prada has got the entire Switzerland working on couture lace. This handmade fabric has taken over almost the entire Fall/Winter 2008 collection simply because Miuccia wanted "something simple", she says.. although I think it's FAR from simple. She continued by saying "the surface is important. I wanted to do minimal, something that was feminine and strong - but in the end, not so sexy." <br /><br />The collection resembles the early nineties Prada and I'm sure must've been a hit among their clients. You'll also notice that the bags have been implanted with strange upstanding frills. They appear throughout the entire collection on the lace pieces as well as the leather ones. Take a look..<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2fPb8HWA_LfYtuZTPYDyRGqe8p40hbn_Al-bqztUhVTM3pZST-1lWbN6X7p60qhM9Fcp0iftveHDCWnFjsw5HZnToISiXW8oLqNaQ_AmCqQiF6fav43e25qebwCpU2T94tXFKiRKt7Vn/s1600-h/Prada+1.jpg"><img style="display:block;

The lace looks pretty in champagne color although I must say it's really delicate and will be difficult to maintain. The frills are definitely over the top and looks especially ugly on the totes.<br /><br />To read a review of the collection on Style.com, <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/F2008RTW/review/PRADA">click here</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
