The Curator Wears Prada
Dressed in a roomy, gray V-neck sweater, a white shirt with a bejeweled collar and a pair of slim-fitting trousers in an oxblood geometric print, she occasionally fiddles with the gray beret tilted at a droll angle atop her fine brown hair. With the launch of women's ready-to-wear in 1988, she coerced the public into casting an admiring gaze on hues of puce, pea-soup green, safety orange, and a shade of brown best described as swamp water. [...]she sent models on a runway power march wearing clothes inspired by blue-collar uniforms and carrying frame handbags that spoke of grandmothers and linen hankies. [...]where the policy nerd seems confused by her own femininity and a fashion failure, Prada succeeds with irony and the confidence born of social currency.w Consider her women's collection for fall 2012.
