The matching print pantsuit, the statement piece for Prada’s Autumn 2012 line, has snagged two prominent covers for September: Elle Mexico and Vogue China.  And these are two I’m aware of, no doubt there are more. Just last week I was saying that the masculine and matchy-matchy aspect of the pantsuit might be a bit much for the average fashion lover, but this kind of press has the power to turn an item into a must-have if only as a piece to add to one’s collection.

On the next page, see the cover (a foldout) for Vogue China.

One image from Lara Stone’s editorial for China Vogue January 2012, as photographed byPeter Lindbergh. The shoot was themed off the endless-inspiring (to some) Marilyn Monroe. More at Fuckyeahlarastone.  

You can find this fashion spread in Vogue China’s April ‘09 issue.  Featuring model Magdelena and shot  by Solve Sundsbo, the stylist has utilized balloons as an accessory. Besides the balloons Magdelene also sports the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli.
