After a successful collaboration  for the film adaptation of Romeo & Juliet in 1996, Miuccia Prada will once again design costumes for  Baz Luhrman’s  upcoming film  The Great Gatsby. As a teaser of what is to come,  U.S.Vogue’s  September issue features  40 dresses from  Prada and Miu Miu’s archives that  have been selected for  the film. We’re already excited! Check out the ’20s-inspired Prada looks on the next page.

WWD released some sketches of the costumes Thierry Mugler is working on for Beyonce’s upcoming world concert. No doubt it will be a very polished and tight set of looks. That being said, I for one will half miss Beyonce’s Mom’s doing the fashion direction. Granted she’s often over the top and too informed by her Southern-Belle-trashy-prom-queen sensibilities, but at the very least she’s entertertaining and more likely to inspire comment than anything an experienced, top designer creates. I mean, Mugler is talking about this collection being about the “duality between being a woman and a warrior,” and I’m like, okay really? And that theme aint worn out like an old man’s suit??
