Prada runs with the big boys

Milan is all abuzz over the incredible show that Miuccia Prada put on this week. Her clothes are being touted as revolutionary. People have even gone so far as to say that Prada is the way of the future. And if not the way of the future, Prada will at the very least be show of the year.

The collection feature was Swiss guipure, an insanely hard to work with lace. Miuccia said, "Our financial controller is breathing down my neck as people normally order 20 or 30 meters. But I ordered 700 meters. We had them working all night in Switzerland."

A pair of Swiss guipure leggings even made their way down the runway. Lindsay Lohan single handedly ruined the leggings trend for me, but seeing them redone in such a beautiful material rekindled my love.

The risk that Miucca took in working with such a challenging material definitely paid off. The clothes are absolutely stunning. I think I actually drooled a little bit while looking through the photos. And the best thing is, they are wearable! I can imagine an actress like Cate Blanchett making her way down the red carpet in one of these dresses and landing on every best dressed list.

Every look that walked down the runway gave off the aura of a self-assured woman. These clothes are all about confidence and femininity. Browse through the gallery and tell me what you think.
