Prada brings it into focus

2012-06-25 18:45:19.410879+02 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

I'm not normally in fashion circles, but for whatever reason any number of people have been sending around Prada's fall 2012 menswear ad campaign, and it occurs to me: Yeah, it's kinda steampunk-ish, but it's also eerily "gilded age".

Anyone else seeing echoes of the aristocracy parading around New York while bleeding the taxpayers dry with bankrupt railroads?

I think these were left over costumes from "The Fifth Element" with Bruce Willis.

Oh, those clothes could so easily get me out of jeans an tee-shirts. Looking at those had me smelling leather, tobacco and brandy.
