Milan Fashion Week spring 2010: Armani and Prada
I haven’t been following Fashion Week in Milan as closely as I did New York. But here’s a couple of collections you might find interesting.
This story is by Robin Givhan of the Washington Post:
MILAN, Sept. 25 –The spring 2010 fashion shows began here Thursday with the famously reserved Giorgio Armani and the infamously unsettling Miuccia Prada presenting their collections on the same day, thus causing a severe case of aesthetic and cultural whiplash.
Two designers could not be more dissimilar. Armani is a man who advocates elegance and beauty. Prada is a woman who once purposely created a collection that she herself described as “ugly.”
If Armani sees his ideal woman as a goddess floating down a red carpet, Prada envisions her as an anarchist marching in the streets of Western capitals, perhaps with a jewel-encrusted gas mask.
