Milan Fashion Week Highlights

Prada got a lot of attention for their Milan Fashion Week Spring 2013 runway show. Women's Wear Daily highlighted the accessories and the shoes from the show as being some of the most impressive of all the Milan Fashion Week runway shows. When I first looked through the collection on Style.com I was not that "wowed" by the designs, but after looking through the collection several times now it is definitely starting to grow on me. The inspiration for the show comes from asian influences such as the japanese blossom, geishas, and kimonos. There is no disputing that the sunglasses from the runway show were amazing featuring the asian inspired blossoms across the top for an edgy and fashion-forward look. The shoes were inspired by geisha platforms and sandals. The sandals had chunky heels and satin bows to polish the look. Miuccia Prada also paired these fun shoes with metallic and pink leather socks. Asian prints and tailoring are a huge trend coming from all of the Fashion Week runway shows and you will definitely find me trying it out!
