It's the end of high tech futuristic, straight line designs for Miuccia. We loved it 15 years ago but now the change is welcomed, although our review is mixed. The seriousness of the strong women image is a little 80's and the fur sleeves with animal print coat is too 'Clan of the Cave Bears guest starring on Dynasty' for our taste. Bunchy poofy is the new thing (Marc Jacob's spring line) but it's not exactly flattering (whereas Marc's silhouettes still have the body in mind). I know she is trying to get away from the prissy ladylike look, and tell me if you think I'm wrong here, but we like to look feminine and slim (and the reason we pay for Prada's impeccable tailoring). On the other hand, the bunchy bags are great! We love the playful yet chic look about them. It's a good thing she didn't venture too far on the staple of super high platforms because we need them and love them, especially these open toe platform sandals (one of us, the petite Snob, needs them more than the other but the other loves to tower over people in crowds and the added height makes my shoulders seem narrower). So, as always with Miuccia, strong on accessories, hit and miss on the clothes.
