marni-tellectual

marni and prada, jointly, are knows as the thinking woman's italian labels. not brash and overt like other brands that rhyme with snersace and snucci or snolce and snobanna. there are generally two schools of opinion on marni and prada's designs: some say their intellectual clothing is moniker just code for ugly shit that no one looks good in. others, like this'n over here, say to that party stick-and-stones-may-shut your-trap-cause-no-one-asked-you. give me these marni items for s/s 08 pls.

dig if you will. a picture

lace is frilly, delicate, tender, and ultra femme yes? no. not for miuccia prada. her lace is handmade (moneymoneymoneyyy), modern, dense, while retaining an airiness as lended by the sheerness of the fabrics, and forceful without being overpowering. check out the whole collection on style.com its alll good. prince out ya'll.

sheer-ly you jest

har har har what a riot corpse bride. lol sheer pants at prada you say! who wears sheer pants! omg sheer overskirt and coat. no laughing matter; not funny. rather, insightful depiction of vulnerability vs protection and reinterpretation of modesty vs sex. can the two poles exist in harmony? who knows but this depth of sheerness tickles my fancy.
