The label's swan song collection was presented today in Milan.

Scene: an internally lighted steel caged platform and matching over hang served as the runway while wood and steel scaffolding with neon orange seats lined the runway. The look: according to muiccia prada the look was minimal baroque which translated to an eye-opening mix of josephine baker-inspired monkey and banana prints; 17th century cherub prints; bold, bright stripe mixes; boxy but light cotton suits and desses; fitted, fluonced hem slip dresses as well as softly structured slip dresses that wafted away from the body. Accessories included crazy stripe foxtail stoles, striped sole platform sneakers, multi-color woven sandals and oversize top-handle bags. What we want: a striped sundress, the sandals and a striped bag

Lindsey Martin, fashion assistant: On Saturday, I made my DJ-ing debut at Sweet Paradise on the Lower East Side.

Lucky accessories assistant Jackie Abramo also stopped by to show her support. If you haven't checked out Sweet Paradise, it's a little hidden gem on Canal and Orchard. I've even heard that R Patz frequents this spot when he's in town. I guess I'll have to keep DJ-ing to find out if that rumor's true...
