"Fallen Shadows" - Prada/James Lima

This is a little bit of a cop-out post as I've been working hard all weekend trying to perfect my design for the fashion156/start boutique competition, however I did take a few minutes out to watch this stunning video - Muiccia Prada and James Lima's latest collaborative project. It is a beautiful animation showcasing the Autumn/Winter 2008/09 collection, with music from Anthony and the Johnsons. The film is about a woman and her shadow, the shadow being more expressive than the woman - the shadow is her sub-concious. James Lima explains in the latest issue of Wound,
"She is the sub-concious, the dream, the soul, and it is the journey of self-discovery with the sensations of the city that confronts her...and us. The thing about the shadow is it's you but it's not. The shadow, your soul, your spirit is free. You leave part of it wherever you go, the idea of the embroidery unravelling represents that."
