Prada’s New Tweeds: Read the Fine Print

My trip to Italy revived my appreciation for Prada. But, seriously, this new tweed-print collection is really good (even if Kara Ross kind of did the same thing two seasons ago and McQueen did it last season). Regardless, Prada’s gotten their groove back for spring, and I’m liking the details they’ve brought to the table. … Continue reading “Prada’s New Tweeds: Read the Fine Print”
