Old Hollywood Glamour, Prada Style
You never know what you’re going to get with Miuccia Prada. I mean this is the woman who made plain nylon bags–and massive Geisha-inspired platforms–a thing. Prada is the rare designer who can dart between over-the-top editorial-bait (see: Spring 2013, Spring 2010), and understated, quiet luxury without ever seeming like she’s lost her way. For fall 2013, she went with the latter: A moody, yet surprisingly wearable, collection.
Everything from the slightly unsettling shadow play moving on the walls–a cat’s tail swishing, fans slowly turning, and a woman posing as if for a mirror–to the suspenseful music set the tone for darkly cinematic collection.

Raf Simons’s Dior Couture is Selling Like Hotcakes
We always wonder who–if anyone–buys couture. Obviously, the industry is still alive and well, so someone does. But often, the handmade looks seem too over-the-top for even the most extravagant events. Not to mention couture’s exorbitant price tag.
Cathy Horyn was curious, too, so she went to Dior and Chanel to investigate this “fairly secretive” part of the industry. Most notably, she found that Raf Simons’ fall 2012 Dior couture collection (his first) was quite lucrative.
