Prada Spring 2013

fur pumps

What’s this! ?  For spring Prada is showing ink-blot floral prints on fur bags.  At Celine in Paris, models walked the runway in mini-mouse pumps in mink. Kids are wearing fur lined moccasins slippers, “as if” they were actual shoes so why not take the idea to its style apex; a mink shoe.  But would you really wear them on dirty NY streets? Up the subway stairs ?  I can see the pleasure in petting your clutch at a cocktail party .

As unorthodox as it seems, fashion pushes our buttons and when it does you can be sure, you’ll soon be wearing that thing you thought was ridiculous. Give it some time.
