Leather garters present an interesting touch for Prada
02/03/2009
Cavalli and Prada were the design houses to win most attention at the start of the Milan Fashion Week on March 1 thanks to thigh-high leather boots, secured by long, tight zips or, in the case of some of the Miuccia Prada creations, garters of the same leather attached to a belt.
Calf-high boots with rugged all-weather soles in fawn, black or red were also secured by garters reaching to the knee. The Prada show also had tunics made up of leather strips.
Roberto Cavalli had zippers climbing the back of his leather boots all the way to the top of the leg. He told AFP that he was “declaring war on the financial crisis”. He said: “It's not a time for romance; you have to be aggressive to win.”
