During the excitement of Sunday night's Golden Globes, people couldn't help but notice actors present at a separate engagement: Prada's fall 2012 runway show in Milan. Despite the familiar faces of Adrien Brody, Jamie Bell, Emile Hirsch, Tim Roth, Gary Oldman and Willem Dafoe, attendees were mainly interested in the decadent pieces that each model wore. Prada's latest season integrates concepts like the smoking jacket with outerwear and crisp, high collars. It was a mixture of the late 19th century, twenties, and even the sixties. Yes, it's a possible combination; this show proves it.
Miuccia Prada added a different kind of machismo flare to each look. It may appear as black-tie attire, but most of the pieces are made from denim and cotton. Sounds comfortable!
So, what were the highlights of Prada's latest ensembles? Round, red-lens glasses (as seen on Adrien Brody and tucked into Jamie Bell's front pocket), deep-colored coats that looked like satin robes, flowers in lapels, and long, Victorian-esque coats. We have to admit, these actors on the runway actually did look "too cool" to attend the Golden Globes. Oscar Wilde would be proud.
