Fashion: Dear Miuccia Prada...

This picture was in last weeks Gracia, showing a jacket and shorts from Prada...


If you parden the pun, the outfit (minus the blouse) comes to you at a "snip" under £1300. Yes ladies and... well ladies, for a mere £1300 you too can be the owner of this stunning ensemble!

But wait, I hear you say, what is wrong with that? Well, plenty actually!

As a seamstress and "designer" (oh how I hate using that terminology) I would like to mention the missing waistband on the shorts, or maybe there is a waistband and it has been tucked in for this shoot? The way the shorts 'bulge' at the top of the fly front kind of disturb me, and gives an indication that they might be folded in ...

















But the horridness doesn't stop there, oh no!
Styling wise I guess it's misfortunate that the ensemble has been paired with a white blouse. Is that the shirt flakes sticking out from under the shorts or is that the pocket lining??
The fact that the hems haven't been finished off, but rather left "raw" doesn't help, but rather strengthens the look of 'long trousers cut into shorts'.











Dear Miuccia Prada.
For £1300, could you not at least have gotten a poor fashion intern to hem/overlock/FINISH the garments? Deconstruction is so Ann Demeulemeester ca late 80's!
Thank you!
