Prada, one of the biggest and well known fashions labels, is key in setting the agenda for the whole of the fashion world. Miucca Prada has proved yet again, that there is a very good reason why Prada is arguably the most sought after brand in fashion. The Milan fashion show was predictable in it its unpredictability. The show was a stark contrast to Spring Summer 08, where the outfits were ethereal and fanciful. For autumn winter 08, Miucca showed a much more grown up collection in handcrafted lace. Apparently, 600 metres of it were imported from Switzerland.

The majority of the clothes were in black with a few other colours such as cream, blue and beige. In each of the different colours the lace took on a different feeling. The black was definitely seductive, but the other colours had more pretty and demure feels about them. All of the calf length lace dresses were simple designs with varying underlying fabrics and garments to add some interest. Many of the outfits featured a lace pelmet around the waist. If previous Prada collections are anything to go by, lace looks to be  a key trend for autumn winter 2008.

This beautiful pure silk knee length lace dress by Aftershock would be a great way to wear this trend if you can’t quite afford the Prada price tags.
