Prada SS2012

Prada's Spring/Summer 2012 line combines classic American style with classic American cars. 

Cars and women: two things a man could talk about for hours. The two are equally as powerful to a man's ego. The sleek lines on a car can be as arousing to a man as the lines on a woman's body. It is for this reason that Miuccia Prada combined them into one with the spring/summer line. Each piece of the colletion is inspired by classic American cars. Dripping in antique jewelry, knee-length silhouettes, and beautiful soft colors, it's hard to NOT fall in love with this collection. 

Dakota Fanning graced the February cover of Elle Magazine wearing a high-waisted, knee-length leather skirt with a car & flame grapHic on the front. The strong color-blocking of the skirt combined with the flowy blue fabric of the shirt made for a breathtaking look. Not to mention her soft curls and the always needed red lip. 

The skirt is seen again on this model; this time paired with a yellow crop top, an up-do, and bright red heels. Each piece is versatile and adaptable to any wardrobe... Sexy or sophisticated. The collection contains very few dresses. Each piece can be combined with another, giving women the option to create their own automotive identity.

The accessories add the finishing touch to the collection. My favorite being these car inspired sunglasses and stunning vintage inspired earrings. All aspects of the collection can be seen in the advertising campaign video:

Wayne Carini...  you're not the only one "Chasing Classic Cars."

But you won't find any barn-finds here.
