What Katie Did Lingerie

As well as being into ’40s & ’50s fashion, a lot of you also know that we’re into ’40s & ’50s cars. Prada’s SS12 collection combines the two, with ’50s Americana car prints and some crazy hot rod flamed shoes. To tell you the truth I don’t know if I love or hate this collection. It’s very distinctive and could hardly be classed as an investment purchase you could wear for years - which makes it a very expensive indulgence. Also, at 40, it’s the first collection I’ve seen where I’ve thought ‘if only I was 20 years younger’ (as well as being a lot richer!) But those shoes rock! What do you think?

I stole the images from http://dollycoolclare.blogspot.com/2012/01/design-inspiration-mid-century-modern.html as she seemed to have the best collection online and I didn’t have time to resize them myself. Hope you’re okay with this Clare…
