FILM: PRADA PRESENTS “A THERAPY”

PRADA summoned the ever-so controversial Roman Polanski for its latest short fashion film titled ‘A Therapy’ starring  Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley. This therapy session takes a fun twist ! Enjoy (above) 

PRADA’S PARALLEL UNIVERSES

Graphic designer Vahram Muratyan, best known for his Paris Versus New York series of posters and book has collaborated with uber luxe fashion brand Prada for Parallel Universes 2012, a series of animated gifs. 

“Parallel Universes is a virtual road paved with Prada 2012 spring/summer men’s and women’s accessories, which highlights through rapid and intuitive movements two parallel universes that meet under the auspices of Prada style.”

Check out the rest of the gifs over at the Prada microsite!

PRADA x FINAL FANTASY 

Wait, what? The images above appear in the latest issue of Arena Homme+ as part of the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Final Fantasy series. FF13-2 characters Lightning, Noel, Snow, Sazh and Hope are all wearing Prada gear.

They were created by Square Enix’s Visual Works studio in Japan, working alongside the Final Fantasy character designers. The magazine page feature includes “key looks” from Prada’s S/S12 men’s collection, “regarded by many as one the best of the season, with key pieces including printed silk shirts and sharp modern suiting”.

Perhaps the most bizarre video game/real life cross-over we’ve ever seen. Very nice!

PRADA S/S ‘12 “DANCE MOTIF” BACKPACK

Prada can simply do no wrong! Offered in their online store at $670, the aptly labeled “Dance Motif” print backpack features characters cutting a rug and bebopping away. If camo and floral prints are not convincing you this season, give this dancing pattern a whirl. Who wants one?!

PRADA FALL/WINTER 2012.13

Pale models with dark eyes, orange eyebrows, and two-tone colored hair graced a larger than life purple carpet today in Milan at the oh-so-luxe Prada Fall ‘12 runway show. “Everyone has a theory about their collections these days, but I’m sick of theory. This collection is about the pleasure of fashion.” said Miuccia Prada about the theme of the collection. Quite possibly our favorite quote of all of fashion week! 

We see a bit of 70s influence in the collection with it’s head-to-toe geometric print (almost reminiscent of 70s wallpaper,no?), crop tops, above-the-waist buckle and fitted jackets, and even some hits of orange. All of that aside, the embellishments were the strongest accent in the collection. Beautiful touches on sleeves, outerwear, and even those to-die structured bags. Prada can just do no wrong! 

PRADA VALENTINE’S DAY COLLECTION

Attention ladies! Screw chocolates and flowers; Prada’s new Valentine’s Day collection is what you should be getting satisfied with! The series includes heart-printed handbags and iPad cases, as well as cutesy bear and cupid key-chains that feature the Prada emblem. Nothing says I love you like a $150 Prada key-chain!
