Prada Shoe in Gold Platform for Spring 2009

I am stumbling over the fashion blogs and I just came across to this Prada Shoe in Gold Platform. It’s not that I don’t like this Prada shoe but for me, it seems the design and color is suited for winter collection rather than this spring season.

It looks like a big Christmas ornament because of the gold metallic accent that shining throughout the day and night which always reminds me of holiday parties. The satin fabric is tremendously flowing and the big bows are definitely an eye grabber to everybody. Despite of my Prada obsession, I don’t think I will shell out the ungodly amount of cash to this angelic beauty that usually Prada brings.

Fortunately, the shoe is readily available this Spring 2009. Also head over to Styledrops to see more of Spring/Summer Prada 2009 Shoe Collections.

Prada Spring/Summer 2009 Campaign Ads

Talk about a pleasant surprise to the glamour and proportion. I was totally blown away after seeing the Prada's beautifully revealed Spring/Summer 2009 Campaign Ads. The sexy and very sophisticated clothing worn by the models reflects their true personality as simple as they are that spoke volumes.

My mind instantly went into overdrive when I noticed that the collection was inspired by a primitive woman and an ancient stone bas-reliefs and a desire to return to basic emotional and physical dimensions in classical art and early culture. I am thinking “what would come of the campaign? Models with bones in their hair carrying wild animals”? Sounds cliche!!!

Well, I can finally put my whimsy feelings to rest. Keeping in mind that we have to evolve as human being with talents. Prada has moved on from it's days of Sasha Pivovarova to Linda Evangelista, and to the recent runway models including Nimue Smit, Giedre Dukauskaite, Sigrid Agren, Toni Garrn, Katrin Thormann, Viktoriya Sosonkina, and Ymre Stiekema.

See a line-up of gorgeously glowing Prada models, seemingly connected by dance as they don those elegantly crumpled dresses adorned in bows and bras and those towering shoes for the women's wear campaign images.

Prada Spring 2009 Campaign Trail for Ymre Stiekema

Currently causing confusion and totally raised my eyebrow this morning while reading fashion blogs. I just came across to a published interview with Ymre Stiekema, one of Prada's Spring 2009 exclusives. As we all know, Ymre has already appeared in the Fall 2008 Prada Linea Rossa campaign, so is this campaign she's talking about Linea Rossa? Resort 2009? Spring 2009?

Let's find out....

Elite Milan , one of the most prestigious modeling agency network in the world, produced two distinct models: Ymre Stiekema and Sigrid Agren. As reported, Ymre Stiekema opened the show, while Sigrid Agren closed the Miuccia’s Spring Campaign, and both beauties captured the ethereal yet classic feel of the collection perfectly.

Ymre Stiekema divulged that she scored an ace in Milan to work on a Prada Spring 2009 Campaign.

The flip side to supermodel Sasha Pivovarova's beautiful alien look, newcomer Ymre Stiekema is hitting it out of the park for Spring/Summer 2009. It might end up a homerun for the 16-year-old Dutchie, whose old-school beauty and perfectly symmetrical features landed her in the opening slot of Prada's show in Milan. She might be from the other side of the Atlantic, but Stiekema oozes a translucent sensuality that’s almost Brazilian—serious sex appeal and a little bit of ‘je ne sais quoi’ that you can’t quite put your finger on. But you can rest assured that this blonde bombshell is staying grounded, even if standing tall at 5'10" does make the her want to reach for the stars. Kaira van Wijk
