Roaring 40s

I mentioned in an earlier post about the Marc Jacobs collection reminding me of Bladerunner and there's more of that "end of time" feel in the Fall Miu Miu collection.

There's a nostalgic air for 40s war-time style with strong shoulders, prim tailoring, fabric that looks like rayon (but is clearly silk) but with Miuccia Prada's pitch perfect modern execution.

The powdered faces and groomed hair don't compete with the clothes while a red lip or a great pair of sun-glasses provide the perfect accent. Prada's little sister grew in to a woman to be reckoned with.
