Vali Myers: Prada's Inspiration


Ever feel like you're coming undone? Hair a mess? Clothes falling off you?
Party so hard you rarely see daylight?
 Letting vices get the better off you?
Go out looking like you've had a hard night already?

If your answer is yes then Vali Myers would have known how you felt. The 50s Paris party girl is a big inspiration behind Prada, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton's Fall campaigns.
Vali Myers made looking dishevelled chic and surprisingly classy. The short black hair, the Kohl eyeliner, pale make-up and don't care attitude can be seen in the Marc Jacobs shots below.

At Louis Vuitton, Cara Delevingne and Ondria Hardin portrayed the same characteristics.



It particularly suits Lily McMenamy.
Dakota Fanning shined in the look for Harper's Bazaar.
Vali's nicknames included  Le Chat/The Cat
La Morte Vive/The Living Dead

La Bete/The Mouth
"I'm contemplating thinking about thinking".
There's a classy article in W Magazine by Edward Helmore you can check out for more details on Vali.

Prepare For Prada!
I'm obsessed with this collection. Miuccia Prada started off the homage to Vali with her Miu Miu s/s collection and then nailed it with her Prada Fall show.

Shower Hair at Prada a/w 2013

We've all done it. Rushed out of the house, hair still soaking wet, clinging limply to our foreheads, dripping everywhere and on everyone. 
I don't remember looking this sexy though. Hmmmm.
Miuccia Prada's collection was described by The Times as one that "hummed with repressed sexuality and menace".

Magdalena's hair was one of the fastest to dry out.
Her look featured a sweater under her dress which works brilliantly. So do the shoes!
Daphne Groeneveld was extra sultry in her leather skirt.
 Lopsided skirt hems were a major theme in giving the looks an imperfect and incomplete vibe.
A posh word for what I just said is deshabille which means partly dressed!
Platform with attitude.
This was beautiful Chiharu Okunugu. That leather looks so soft.
This is so wearable yet chic. The zip, the hem and the shoes magnifique.
Nice to see our recent blog hero Fei Fei Sun is loved by Prada too.

Smoky eyes and matte pink lips.
Check that pout.

Cora Emmanuel's fur cuffs were another common theme.

This is a bit more like a bad day getting out of the shower in winter and not realising what you've put on in the dark.
Check dem shoes tho. Trucker boots.
Ondria you're still in your nightwear daaaaaarrling!

Finally
Miuccia nailed the shoes.
