First time a fashion show is scheduled to be presented on the Internet and the result has left me speechless. The concept and the execution are wonderful. These guys are so forward minded! The pics say nothing, you NEED TO see the propper show, only available on their site.
Dress above + bag below = perfection
Update:Suzy Menkes says that, even though the concept was good, a live show of the Dutch duo is much better. What she doesn’t realize is that most of human beings can’t make it to one of their shows, and in a way that’s the point of the online performance. Internet is democratic and brigns evertything to everyone. And it has to be fast, they can’t “waste time” zooming in details, as she suggests, since speedy Internet users would just go surf somewhere else.
Most famous fashion journalist all over the world just celebrated in Paris her 20 years at International Herald Tribune, with an event that gathered most important designers. By publishing almost everyday, honest Suzy gives me the hope that fashion might not all be about connections, but also about hard work. Much more on style.com.

La periodista de moda más famosa del mundo ha celebrado en París sus 20 años en el International Herald Tribune, en un acto que ha reunido a los mejores diseñadores. A base de publicar casi todos los días, y siempre con rigor, la incorruptible Suzy me da la esperanza de que la moda quizá no funcione sólo a base de enchufes, sino también de trabajo duro. Muchas más fotos enstyle.com.
Even though Jessica Stam stumbles and trusty Suzy Menkes doesn’t agree, I’ve found Prada’s show just gorgeous.

Aunque mi querida Jessica Stam se caiga y aunque la más que fiable Suzy Menkes piense lo contrario, a mí la nueva colección de Prada (P/V 2009) me ha parecido maravillosa.
Ok, she is going a bit too far with impossible shoes: two models fell down and many others wobbled. But coming from Prada, one can always put forward that it’s some sort of intellectul metaphor of current economical situation, for instance. Foolish stuff appart, the shoes are stunning.

Vale, se está pasando un poco con unos zapatos que ni si quiera mantienen en pie a las sufridas modelos (y al fin y al cabo, ésa es la finalidad del calzado; ésa y hasta caminar, en el rarísimo caso de algunas mujeres). Pero viniendo de Prada, siempre se puede argumentar que el show no es sino una metáfora de cómo la sociedad capitalista se tambalea… Por ejemplo. Además, los zapatos son preciosos, aunque no entiendo si se trata de una única pieza o de sandalias+pinquis (¿pinquis? ¿Se escribe así?) (¿Y eso ahora mola?).
(Literally) killer shoes
And one thing that I don’t get clear. Why does Style’s Sarah Mower say “this is a collection destined to look even better on a woman with a real body than it does on a teen model”? By “real body”, does she mean “real fit belly”?
—————
Y otra duda: ¿por qué dice Sarah Mower, de Style.com, que “esta colección está destinada a quedarle incluso mejor a una mujer con un cuerpo real que a una modelo adolescenete”? Supongo que, por cuerpos reales, ella entiende abdómenes firmes.
Update: Video of a model’s fall. Let’s face it: Miuccia makes mistakes.
