What The Hell Is Going On?

Since being in Milan and seeing it for myself I am now more interested in what folks are saying of the World of Fashion. I've always thought I had quite good taste in clothes, though perhaps not the budget or inclination to be truly chic. A girl can dream though. One day I'll have a Chanel suit, one day...

I am heartened to see Prada getting a slating from other quarters, it backs up my opinion that at the moment it's all minging! Skinny men in micro shorts? Noooooooooo!

The shoes shown are an example. Horrible! And retailing at $338. What the...?

Eeeeeeeuuurgh!

The Devil Wears Prada?

Well, if he/she does then they have very bad taste!

Yes, I'm just back from a weekend in Milano and I must to register my aversion to what I saw gracing the windows of the Prada shops. It was hideous mes amis! Some horrible cheap looking plastic effect shoes and bags of this type. Here are the ladies version as well. Oh my goodness, aren't they awful? And the worst part? The black/grey version you see there is just about bearable. In the shops they had black/red/yellow that made me want to howl... or hurl. I'm not sure which!

Oh God! And there was something godawful going on with knee high ribbed socks with the toes cut out. I wish I had taken a picture for you will not believe me! I'm not sure if that was just so they could get the socks on the mannequins (unlikely) or if they are trying to bring in a trend for toeless socks. It was awful anyway! As my friend Ziggy came back from Venice with a photo of 'fashion' dummies similarly bedecked in wrinkly knee-highs I fear we may have a winter of disconent approaching. Well, I'll be wanting to slap anyone over the age of 12 that I see wearing ribbed knee-highs anyway. *whimper*
