PRADA RELEASES RETROSPECTIVE BOOK COMMEMORATING TREE DECADES OF FASHION AND INNOVATION

 prada-bags-book

It’s done fashion, architecture, art, and cinema. Now European design giant Prada handbags will turn its hand to the printed page.

The stylish handbag brand is set to release retrospective coffee table book looking back at its 30 years of design innovation. Simply titled Prada bags,this is no light read at a monster 706 pages. I suppose the label has achieved a lot over the last three decades, but I hate to think how heavy this tome will be. It definitely doesn’t sound like something to pack in your suitcase for your Christmas vacation!

The book, published by Prada Progetto Arte, will soon hit Prada flagships stores around the world, selected bookstores, and Prada.com. Considering its monster size, the compendium is remarkably good value at 100 Euros.

NICOLE KIDMAN LOVES HER RED PRADA BAGS

 nicole-kidman-loves-her-red-prada-bag-003

We’ve written three times in the past two weeks about Nicole Kidman and her Prada Saffiano & Tessuto Tote Bag, and when a bag surfaces that much, it’s a bit difficult to figure out what’s left to say about it. When I got thinking about it, though, it seemed completely reasonable. She may have a staff, but she’s still a working woman with a small child and things to do, and switching out her handbag probably isn’t her priority. Come to think of it, I went almost a full year without carrying anything but a purple Balenciaga bag, and I have hardly any responsibilities.

I kind of like how the retro-looking bright prada bags pops against her retro-looking neutral dress, but the periwinkle patent shoes that you can see in a few of these pictures seem like a complete non sequitur to both of the other major elements of the outfit. It’s perhaps an indication that she does dress herself in day-to-day life instead of relying on outfits that a stylist puts together all the time, and for that I can’t help but like Nicole a little more than I used to.

NICOLE KIDMAN TRAVELS WITH PRADA SAFFIANO & TESSUTO TOTE BAG

Eeks. Nicole Kidman’s face is rather, errr, motionless. Every time I see pictures of her, she seems to be wearing that same, very same, exact smile. It’s like a smile that has been painted on. Now, I have no idea about how many rounds of botox or tightening she has endured, but geeze, it’s time to stop.

Ok, moving on. Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban were snapped as they arrived in London after a long flight from LA. Keith looks like he always does, kinda casual but kinda not. And Nicole, looks like she always does, very well put together and sophisticated. While I am not a fan of her hat, I am loving her Prada Saffiano & Tessuto Tote Bag. In fact, Nicole loves it too since we just saw her carrying it not that long ago.
