Prada Spring 2011 Shoes Plus Weird Rumors

Apparently the acceptability of Prada’s Spring 2011 collection has been called into question. According to WWD:

Prada firmly denied speculation Monday that it would alter or nix the spring/summer collection it paraded on the Milan runway last week. The rumor went that Prada’s chief executive officer Patrizio Bertelli was unhappy with the colorful and graphic range, which received good reviews from critics and retailers. According to sources, Prada cancelled some writing appointments in Milan for American retailers, saying the company would bring an enhanced offering to New York at the end of October.

It was kind of boxy and bright and art-girl rebellious, though in fairness my take was that Prada collections always need time to ripen. Maybe that’s why the shoes featured here via Purplediary are lying on their side….gasping for air perhaps?
