The new Rodartes

Yesterday the Prada Fall 2009 collection was presented. People packed into a round arena style building and watched as models paraded around in gladiator dresses studded with roman metals. But then there were the velvet brocade duos paired with high heeled wellies. The fuzzy gray tinged bouffants of the models were quite archaic. The shoes, which consisted of a fanlike covering over the ankle - embedded with the same studs that covered some of the strong leather frocks, were a mohawk of loveliness.
