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…

Milan S/S Collections

My Milan Favourite Pieces…

Photos from style.com

While I usually select my favourite 15 looks, the magnificent Milan offered so many delightful pieces that I just couldn’t choose! So I decided to extend my top looks to 17! These are my favourite looks from Milan Spring / Summer Fashion Week…

Luscious white and gorgeous shades of oranges and pinks again captured my attention. I want the entire Fendi collection and have a new found love for D&G. Versace offered its usual spectacular array of feminine pieces that oozed pure siren sex appeal; Just Cavalli’s 1970’s edge was undeniably cool; while Jil Sander’s maxi skirts in lovely shades and patterns was a breath of fresh air.

Meanwhile Prada’s S/S collection was probably the most unexpected. It was a feast for the eyes, offering everything from monkey and banana prints, stripes, florescent coloured furs, and shapes that took inspiration from uniforms – prisoner, postman, sailor, to name but a few. Miuccia Prada’s statement of the collection, “It’s time to be bold”. It is Prada after all….

In conclusion, Milan was simply magnifique xx

Saturday… the perfect day for some Fashion News (especially when it envolves Kate Moss)…

Miranda Kerr Goes Nude

Miranda Kerr has bared all for a new Photography book V2. Taken by the renowned photographer Russell James, V2 represents the “young goddesses of today”. Kerr’s series of photos are sensational and feature her frolicking on the beach. Another model included in V2 is Brooklyn Decker.

Kate Moss For Isabel Marant

Kate Moss is the face of Isabel Marant’s Fall 2010 campaign. Moss is a perfect fit for the rock’ n’ roll styling, chic yet edgy French brand.

Marant’s Fall collection is a sexy, streamlined take on fifties finesse. Undeniably cool, think sexy skinny black Capri pants hidden under luxurious coats. There are rolled-hem leather pants, baseball-inspired jackets, faded denim jackets, sparkly tees and pointed mid-height bow pumps. 50’s inspired neckties also make an appearance.

Moss is photographed above in my favourite look from the Fall collection. For effortless, bohemian, French style… there is no other brand quite like it.

The Most Powerful Woman In Fashion

The First Lady, Michelle Obama, is now believed to be the most powerful person in fashion. This is the case as the economic value of the brands she chooses to wear have been boosted in total of up to $2.7billion. Jason Wu is one such designer who has been pushed into the spotlight. Wearing one of Wu’s designs to the inaugural ball in January 2009, the label is now stocked around the world and his New York Fashion Week show a must-see.

Best Dressed Straight From The Runway

This week celebrities embraced looks straight from the Catwalk. Blake Lively looked stunning in a Lanvin look from the Fall2010 collection. Michelle Williams chose one of my favourite pieces from Erdem’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Meanwhile, a glowing Claire Danes worked the ladylike look in a red Prada Fall2010 dress. And finally Freida Pinto worked a Marchesa Resort2011 embellished gown. Such gorgeous ladies and such spectacular gowns…xx
