Model takes a tumble at the Prada show at MFW

The Prada show had the fashion pack buzzing due to the poor models teetering on seven-inch platforms. The girls wobbled, stumbled, fell and one girl put her foot down quite literally and sauntered down the catwalk with the shoes in her hands, and not on her feet.

Seen at the shows:
Civilians (all totally glamorous!) were wearing enormous platform heels and cocoon shapes featured quite a bit in their outfits. Scarily, the 1980s trouser shape with peg tops and narrow legs seems to have invaded the continent as well.
Pretty prints featured at Etro, all very elegant and a bit boho with lots of long, floaty dresses.
At Prada, it was all a tad sportif with crinkled fabrics and the aforementioned vertiginous heels.
Great geometric, avant-garde prints featured at Marni.
Interestingly, Bottega Veneta are branching out into prints, and very successfully too.
Forget bags, this year it’s all about statement footwear!

If you’re lucky enough to be in Milan, some fab happenings include:
A fab exhibition at La Triennale profiling Salvatore Ferragamo with a showcase of his most iconic footwear.
Giorgio Armani has just opened his biggest boutique in the world in Milan. Armani muse, Cate Blanchett was there at the opening, looking lovely as ever.
