Prada. in a cartoon?

As soon as i saw that prada had made an 'animation' movie, i couldnt help but laugh. I mean a fashion label gone all geeky? Its called 'Trembled Blossoms' and was premiered in NY on Febuary the 6th in thier flagstore. Apparently it marks the 'culmination surrounding the creative process surrounding the spring/summer '08 collection.' It all sounded like a pile of bollocks to be honest. So, being the investigator i am, i went straight to www.prada.com to watch the film, and actually it wasnt as wierd as i expected. Sure, the whole prospect of a naked nymph being magically dressed in Prada clothing sounded 'unusual', but the graphics were good, and there were some beautiful scene images. Here are some of them, as stills from Prada website: 1. Naked Nymph bursts from floor. 2. Bugs magically turn into pretty prada shoes. This i admit, was pretty cool. 3. Beautiful scenery starts appearing.

4. Patterned ladies start dancing around and when the nymph comes into contact with one, she magically produces a gown. [from Prada of course]

5. What looked like an overgrown gargoyle goat thanked the Nymph for feeding its chinese-dragon-turned-tiny-fish part of her apple by giving her a prada bag.

[I would happily babysit his fish for him if thats how i get paid!!!]

Well, it all sounds wierd, but it beats some of the adverts i've seen for other fashion houses! Log onto www.prada.com to see it, and make sure you tell me what you think!

Well, i've recieved the thinking blogger award from the amazing J'adore Vogue, so be well prepared for the next post.

Have a nice day everyone! Molly xo.
