Miuccia Prada’s Apron
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers,
Miuccia Prada loves aprons.
The Italian fashion designer says she gets a lot of her inspiration from the lives of everyday women and uses the tradition kitchen attire for her collections because it symbolizes the tough lives some females have to lead.
"I'm interested in the lives of women in general, which is why I love aprons. The apron is a recurring theme in my work because it is symbolic of women's sufferance. It's an emblem of women's despair, their poverty, their passions. I love drama and romance. It's one of the reasons why I love antique jewelry - I like to live the lives of other women."
Miuccia - who works for Prada and heads her fashion forward sister company Miu Miu - has previously said she often wears clothes she thinks are "appalling" and sometimes hates her own signature style: "I get passions, I have to wear something even if I know it's really appalling. It's all about the fantasy of the moment and for about 20 days it's all I want."

Items Du Jour: Japan Infiltrates Givenchy, Natalie’s Ring, and Lazy Lagerfeld

-- Riccardo Tisci borrowed a little inspiration from the East for Givenchy's Spring 2011 couture collection, which was modeled by an exclusively Asian cast. Like last year (much to many celebrities' dismay, I'm sure), Tisci limited the guest list to wealthy serious buyers.
-- Don't you wish you could vote Miuccia Prada into office? Well, the designer says that a life of politics is not out of the question.
-- A touch of Playboy bunny, a dash of Pirates of the Caribbean, and a sprinkle of Katy Perry make for Rihanna's upcoming music video for her song, "S&M."
-- Oscar nominee Natalie Portman's fiancé Benjamin Millepied looked to dancer-turned-jewelry designer Jamie Wolf when it came to choosing a one-of-a-kind design for the actress. "We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie," Wolf tells InStyle.
-- Who is Karl Lagerfeld's worst critic? Himself! The famed fashion designer tells Vogue that -- despite designing for his own label, Chanel, and Fendi -- he "could do better," and that he is "never pleased" with himself. He then gets pretentious by talking about how he reads pretentious books.

Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu show brought Paris Fashion Week to a close Wednesday night.
The stars turned out in support of the Italian designer, with the likes of British model Alexa Chung and Dakota Fanning sat in the front row to sample the delights of the of the brand’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
Encapsulating a trend noted at New York Fashion Week last month, the line featured a whole host of vivid neon and fluro shades, with references to both the seventies glam rock era and the comic book-style fashions of the eighties. Meanwhile, the neon trend continued in Miu Miu’s accessories range with models parading the runway in killer heels in electric blues, flurid reds and bright yellows, with shoulder bags in illuminated leather.

Quote of the Day: Miuccia Prada on Husband Patrizio Bertelli
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
“He [Bertelli] says that we are snobs and that we don’t understand pop culture… He and I have a little rule of three. If he says something more than three times, then I need to think about it. Sometimes I don’t want to listen, but I do… We work hard. It’s always an intense relationship, and it’s exhausting having to work with him. But I admire and respect him… It’s a war in here every minute, and to be part of this company, you have to be trained.”
