Label Text:Women’s Wear Daily summarized Prada’s fall 2007 collection as “relatively simple shapes that turn out to be not so classic after all.” As she often does, Miuccia Prada devoted a great deal of energy to textile research, and the materials she chose—such as simulated fur of orange fleece and plastic fringe—made these “fake classics” unexpected and intriguing.
