Prada - Fall 2011 Collection

Aaaah....Prada. The very name conjures up images of style. Prada's fall 2011 Collection was no exception. The following dresses made me think of the 20's, with the dropped-waists, and the 40's, with the puffed sleeves. Pictures supplied by Vogue.com - visit for full collection


This look is just incredibly interesting to look at. The contrast between the simple black coat dress with the red glasses and space helmet with the knee-high snakeskin boots makes the eyes unable to rest on one thing for more than a few seconds. I love the way the helmet-like hat is completely in sync with the coat's collar, showing intense attention to detail.


This dress strikes me as extremely feminine and shapely, while still retaining an element of youth. It seems like an outfit any young girl would wear to school, but is matured by the addition of the knee-high snakeskin boots and the clutch purse.


This dress is truly sophisticated. I love that the fur is tastefully used and not overdone, because too much fur can make a dress look strange if not done right. This dress is not only fabulous on its own, but it makes the model look great as well. The shoes are simple but chic, and match the bag perfectly.



This ensemble definitely makes me think of a young schoolgirl - the straight top part of the dress goes perfectly with the slight flounce at the bottom, creating an interesting look. Again, the snakeskin boots return to remind us of the model's age.


I'll finish with this gorgeous ensemble. I love the way the colors have come together on this dress. The black makes the red buttons, belt buckle, and stripes really pop. The style of the dress is so 20's that I would almost think I'd gone back in time, if it weren't for the fabulous bag and trademark snakeskin boots. A truly fantastic outfit.
