Okay, werque. Katryn is simply divine in this. Natasha, always stunning, but Katryn really steals the show.

Prada by Steven Meisel AW 11
I still think Kelly Mittendorf is jank. Can she just not get it, please. Of all that Prada has brought to us in the past; e.g. Sasha and Gemma, and this is what we get? I rather enjoy the campaign, I just wish the models were chosen a little more wiser. Remember, we just had Mariacarla, Zuzanna, and Kinga in a flirty and energetic campaign for an innately ugly collection that we’ve grown to love. Hm.

And a colour fiesta it is.
1) I rewatched the runway and those platform wedges are completely and utterly amazing.
2) I’m really curious to see one’s opinion on this Prada line who doesn’t necessary follow fashion. I know this wouldn’t be the first thing I’d show someone who doesn’t follow or get the idea of the industry.
3) I’m not completely familiar with Alina, but she’s someone I’m going to watch out for. Such stunning eyes and face.

Prada S/S 11
It’s interesting, this whole line from Prada. From first glance I feel like I should despise the pieces and find it altogether atrocious, but I really am too enamored by Miuccia’s genius. The entire campaign makes the line. When I saw the video, and I found it rather interesting and hilarious that others felt the same way, it all sort of clicked for me. The humor and provocation that Miuccia continually puts into her work is enormous. Many of these pieces are truly fabulous as separates and we have been seeing them pop up everywhere in editorials. The big editorial pieces this season are Prada, Gucci, and that Marc Jacobs travesty.
I sometimes wonder how Miuccia gets away with so much season after season. I’m not saying that I want her to elaborate any further on this season, but it is all quite perplexing. In all but four weeks or so, we will see what new creations Prada can only come up with.

Vogue Nippon: Karen Elson
Vogue Nippon continues on into February of 2011 with another wonderful, signature cover featuring the already iconic and striking Karen Elson. When I watched the Prada livestream, I had absolutely no doubt that it would be featured everywhere in an endless amounts of editorials and covers. Obviously, this isn’t changing from last season’s Prada and Miu Miu. Karen is adorned with Prada’s colorful furs and the one Prada dress that keeps popping up. Whether you appreciated Miuccia’s efforts and recognize her genius or repulsed by her designs, I think we’re in for a vivid Spring season full of Prada-wear.

Miranda Kerr: Vogue Espana Preview
She takes two steps forward and three steps back. It’s just hit-or-miss with Miranda. Tom Munro photographs Miranda for Vogue España and all I see here is a mediocre cover for Elle. Let’s get something straight, she’s an absolutely beautiful and striking girl, but something about her personality is so saccharine and that it’s hard to overlook how adorable and vivacious her personality seems. I’ve been supporting Miranda ever since she’s been dipping into high fashion editorials and campaigns and believe she deserves every major gig she receives, but I need to see more than just an arched hip or back mixed with awkward poses. The black-and-whites are stunning and she seems quite lovely in the editorial favorite Miu Miu, but more vibrant photos reminisce a Victoria’s Secret catalog or GQ for that matter. Step up your game, girl.

“L’Ensorceleuse”
Dare I even mention it? CoughMiuMiuCoughPradaCough. There isn’t an editorial that doesn’t get better from it, is all I’m saying. Maybe one day I won’t have to mention the products of Miuccia when she finally sends me a collar with nude ladies. One can dream, right? I mean, Ke$ha has hit songs, like, songs people listen to on the radio. Taylor Swift still sings about magical boys or something. When is it my turn, Ke$#@*!a? When is it my turn to basque in that glittery sun?!
I need to cool down and focus. I should be grateful I’m not just a performing dumpster, so lets focus on what’s in front of us. Add the likes of Givenchy mixed with beautiful leathers and finely tailored clothes on Magdalena, you have this perfectly style editorial. Magda is pulling distressed beauty all too perfectly.

Vogue Italia Beauty (NSFW)
Ellen von Unwerth captures Dioni Tabbers in such an old Italian pin-up manner, that it evokes and reminisces on Sophia Loren, just sexier and slightly with more boob. I love these photos and one can assume I’m going into a Prada overload, in the very best way possible. Those cat eye’s with eyebrows were featured in an editorial and so perfectly. I want them, I want to wear them, I want to sing to them and take them to the park. They’re so quirky yet beautiful at the same time.
This beauty issue focuses on the body, which Dioni certainly possesses. The likes of Prada and Louis Vuitton, like we’ve mentioned time and time again, focused on a more womanly body; whatever that means. A boob here, a hip there.
Karlie Kloss Goes Retro
The 60s and 70s are back, and Karlie brings them back with class in Vogue. I was excited to see those Prada and Balenciaga heels in the issue when I finally found a copy in this damn town.

Miu Miu Fall/Winter Campaign
The casting is honestly perfect for Miu Miu’s latest campaign with Siri Tollerød, Ginta Lapina, Daphne Groeneveld and Lindsey Wixson, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. That purple dress with the flowers and the over-sized lace is wonderful, and I still cherish the time when Carey Mulligan pulled it off, yet no one appreciated it because of it being the wrong event. Also, why am I getting vibes of Wixson just being some cherub face placed on an adult body? Or what I’ve read, a fetus trying to sell clothes. Whatever, perfect for Miu Miu’s provocative, sexy, and smart aesthetics.
I really love that this is an essential throwback and re-thinking to the 60s that focuses on the quirky and fun and the point where fashion as a whole began to shift, whether that is what Miuccia was aiming for or not, it is how I interpret her genius. I imagine this whole line on the likes of Twiggy to Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe in 1966′s How to Steal a Million, similar to her Givenchy wardrobe. I love it through and through.
