The signature look of the labels Prada and Miu Miu are described by NY Fashion as old-world Italian luxury wrapped in forward thinking design.

With Miuccia Prada at the helm, the Miu Miu Spring 2009 collection was held at the runways of Paris. And she is another designer who is set to teach her fashion-obsessed audience a lesson about history.

” It’s an investigation of our history, of our European past,” is exactly what the designer had to say about the pieces from her collection.

Check out the ‘historical’ clothes for yourself.

“It’s about a metamorphosis. There’s a big change going on in these times,” said designer Giambattista Valli. No, he’s not talking about the economic crisis (although he might as well have been).

What he’s referring to is the look for his Spring 2009 collection which was shown at the runways of Paris just recently. On the front row are young fashionistas including Emma Watson, Natalie Portman and Caroline Sieber.

Does the line up at the front row seat ‘metamorphose’ to the youngness of Giambattista Valli’s collection?

Check out pics from the collection below, and judge for yourself whether it’s for the hip and young crowd:

What do you have? The Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2009 Collection, which graced the runways of Paris recently.

Yohji is part of the trio of Japanese designers ruling the fashion industry, which includes Issey Miyake and Comme des Garçons’ Rei Kawakubo. But as compared to the other two designers, Yohji is the most playful designer – and black and white are the predominant colors in his designs.

Artsy, out of the ordinary. Funky fashion student—with a trust fund

Check out the collection for yourself and tell us what you think.

Let’s start off with this printed blue frock whose monotony is broken by the lace accent on the waist. The matching accessories are equally fun and funky!
