2011-2012 Fall Prada

I know I am a little obsessed with Prada these days but this brand is so innovative...

This look and this silhouette are incredible, futuristic, very "the Man Who Feel to Earth"  inspired... Don't you think?

I love the Prada "minimal baroque" glasses

Love this Prada look

Prada is the edgiest brand: the Epicenter project

Miuccia Prada is more than a trend-setter, she's a cultural forecaster and an honest and knowledgeable art lover. Hence the fact that Prada launched this series of amazing t-shirts earlier this year. I think they're fantastic !

The Jersey White Prada Obvious Classic t-shirts (understandably abbreviated to JWP for the project) come in different 'Prada' shades for the different stores: white for Tokyo, LA and Montenapoleone Donna; red for NYC; sky blue for Montenapoleone Uomo; light green for London and black or white for Galleria.

Prada Foundation new art project will coincide with the Venice Biennale

Fondazione Cini

The Milan-based Prada Foundation will be presenting an exhibition of Pop artist John Wesley to coincide with the 53rd Venice Biennale. The Fondazione Giorgio Cini, a non-profit cultural centre on the island of San Gorgio Maggiore, which was built by the famed Venetian architect Andrea Palladio, will be the space welcoming the show.

The curator Germano Celant describes Wesley's style as "a vocabulary of pop imagery and private emotions that are one of the most mysterious and compelling to define." The exhibition will feature work draw as well as documentary material such as cutouts, photographs and magazine covers.

This is not the first exhibition / project the Prada Foundation has organized. Artists such as Dan Flavin, Steve McQueen or Francesco Vezzoli had already been selected by the Foundation in the past.

New Prada Foundation by Rem Koohlaas

The Italian house chose Rem Koohlaas to design the new Prada Foundation. This collaboration is not the first one since the Dutch architect had already designed shops in the US. Rem Koohlaas will renovate a factory situated in the south of Milan. This new space will represent 17 500 m2. OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) will be in charge of the renovation. This group of architects directed by Rem Koolhaas will design the Foundation which should host concerts, exhibitions and conferences. The Prada Foundation was created in 1993 by Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli in collaboration with a major Arte Povera artist, Germano Celan. The artists such as Anish Kapoor and Carsten were the guests of current Fondation Prada in the centre town of Milan.

Prada phone

The LG Prada phone is an entirely new concept, unlike the recent collaboration between D&G and Motorola, which was just a Razr in an expensive looking coat.

The basic handset is the LG KE850, which we know is coming out soon, but it won’t be branded LG. It will have a Prada design and packaging and will have a unique Prada user interface.
Rumours have been circulating recently that the KE850 is actually a working version of Apple’s imminent iPhone, but we can categorically say that this is not the case! We know that the iPhone is going to come in 4GB and 8GB versions, but the KE850 has only a nominal onboard memory.

The phone is unique in the fact that it does not have a keypad, sporting instead a touch screen display, but unlike the touch display on the LG Chocolate, which was just a couple of fixed buttons that lit up, the Prada display will change according to the application on the screen.
It has a classic minimalist design, featuring an utterly stylish white on black user interface and will come in a swanky Prada designed leather case.

Prices have yet to be confirmed, but it will be a lot cheaper (around 600euros) than might be expected of a Prada branded product, not like we know it will be at the top end of the market, somewhere around the Nokia N80 or the Sony Ericsson W950i (available on 02), but crucially a lot cheaper than the D&G Motorola or the even the original Nokia 8800 mobile.

It will be with us in late March or early April and will be released in five European countries.(courtesy from www.dialaphone.co.uk)
