Favourite Things... from the catwalks of Milan....

Hey Miuccia!... Xena called and she needs her clothes back.....

Ok.. Jokes aside, I'm completely in love with the new Prada collection, and no.. not as some have suggested, just because it's Prada!

My favourite pieces are the "country-look" woollen shorts with chunky knits and high heeled waders..
To me they seem a cross between Kate Moss' practical look for Glastonbury (men's underwear and gumboots)and Helen Mirren's styling for her film "the Queen"

This is not surprising, given that Miuccia explained that she was creating tough clothes for tough times, Talking to FWD, she said, "“It’s all about the death of the nightclub,” Miuccia told FWD backstage. “And about a new desire for a rural retreat, where clothes are strong and sturdy.”

Which fits in with the Queen's look, she buys well made, beautifully tailored wool suits and tweeds, that are hard wearing,and long lasting, but still look classy... but with the addition of short, "Kate Moss style" shorts, Miuccia has added a dash of sex appeal, creating a collection that works perfectly right now.

Chadwick's Girl, Georgie Wass for Prada??

Aussie-Gal, Georgie Wass, (represented by Chadwick Models in Australia), is about to become a Fashion- World "name", if reports on UK Grazia's site are correct!

They have reported that Georgie is to be an "exclusive" at the career- making Prada show in Milan!

From UK Grazia

"Georgie Wass – (Elite)

Gorgeous Australian redhead Georgie Wass is about to be the hottest thing in London. She has been confirmed for Topshop, Jaeger, Christopher Kane, Richard Nicoll and Armand Basi... and then she's going to Milan on exclusive for Prada!"

Interestingly, Georgie has just switched London agencies, from FM London to the newly created Elite London, along with a huge swag of other FM models,(source Fashist) which seems to have made some people a little unhappy if this rant on the Fashist forums is anything to go by


"Nothing ever changes...Pimps with money purchase girls just as they do prostitutes--
If these girls had any scruples, self respect or respect for those who made them from nothing...there would be no agencies developing such as E.L and the IMG's of the world.
If they opened up after having scouted for 6 months with some AMAZING new talent--THAT would be something to be in AWE of...."


Actually, I have no idea, WHAT this person is on about, but they sound really angry..!!
If anyone knows could they enlighten me in a comment?
