A Tutti Frutti Fashion Trend
Brighten up your wardrobe with colourful fruity looks inspired by the Spring / Summer 2011 collections.
Between Prada, Stella McCartney and Moschino Cheap & Chic, designers were feeling for a Summer health kick. There were Banana prints on the Prada runway, while Miuccia Prada herself wore banana earrings backstage. Of her colourful collection, Miuccia Prada said: “I’m tired of minimalism.”
Meanwhile, at Stella McCartney, models looked fresh, vibrant and citrusy in luscious lemon and orange prints. At Moschino Cheap & Chic, a divine lemon print 50’s inspired skirt teamed with a matching top and waisted belt, made my heart stop! So divine! Other fruits that took to the runway included; apples at Miu Miu and cherries at Anna Sui, while at Blumarine models carried lemon handbags.
However, dressing in fruit can be daring. If you would prefer to ‘taste test’ this fruity trend, check out Charlotte Olympia’s banana clutch bag or mixed fruit platform heels (pictured right). The striking heels are decorated with interlaced pineapples, bananas, strawberries and watermelons. It is the perfect way to incorporate the trend into your everyday style with effortless flair. Of her pieces, Charlotte Dellal, the designer behind the Charlotte Olympia label, says; “They are tongue in cheek but wearable, I like accessories which have a sense of humour.”
So be daring in citrus! Make a colourful, fresh statement. You can now eat your fruit and wear it too! xx

Prada Perfection in today’s Espresso Shot of News
Eva Mendes Wears Prada
Eva Mendes stepped out recently in a striking look from the eye-popping Prada Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
Looking every bit the polished movie starlet that she is; Mendes kept the look streamlined and chic – pairing it with classic black heels, natural make-up and flowing hair. The Prada colourful strapless dress hugged Mendes’ curves perfectly and made me love this dress even more! The horizontal stripes, monkey and swirl print could be hard to pull off… but Mendes has done it to perfection! Love!
This dress will be available in Prada stores from February next year and will be around £1010. The yellow, lime, jade and black will definitely make a statement in any Summer wardrobe.
About Prada’s Spring / Summer 2011 Collection
One of the standouts of Milan Fashion Week, Prada’s collection was inspired by Latin America. A feast for the eyes, the collection included everything from monkey and banana prints to stripes, florescent coloured furs, and shapes that took inspiration from uniforms – prisoner, postman, sailor, to name but a few. Adventure, fun and eye-popping colour… Miuccia Prada’s exuberance has done it again!
Miuccia Prada’s said of the collection, “It’s time to be bold”. And bold it is…
