MIU MIU- What a woman wants, what a woman needs

Miuccia Prada brought Paris to a close this afternoon with a beautiful show that confirmed her status as the woman who know just what woman want- never mind Marc Jacobs and his Louis Vuitton fetishisms this morning.  But if talking of robust tweeted dresses and coats with exaggerated shoulders were nipped in to the waist, Miu Miu and its featured prim white Peter Pan collars, giant matching purses as clutch bags worn alongside them. Season's biggest trends: muddy palette, check. Blown-up proportions, check.

Miu Miu took the idea of a signature print and raised it by scattering embellished lily of the valley, swallows, dandelions and daisies over beautifully sophisticated dresses whose demure silhouette brought to mind Forties nostalgia-

Bows were a motif but somehow not girly- they came as twisted mink cummerbunds on tweed or silk dresses, as two sides of a lapel on oversized jackets dresses and on suede ankle boots-

It was languid and alluring, full of fresh new ideas for the new generation Hollywood chicks in the front row- the finale line up of dresses with full sleeves and flashes of flesh at the back surely inspiring them to become full -on silver screen legends.
