Lorenzo Martone hits Toronto for the Prada book launch and some mystery meetings
Last night, Prada held its first Toronto bash since the party for the opening of the Bloor Street location in 1997. It took the launch of a Prada book to warrant another celebration, and the delay only seemed to heighten the thrill. Devoted followers of fashion’s highest priestess, Miuccia, paid homage by arriving in her black lace sheaths, metal-coated wools, and this season’s studded shirts and shoes. But it wasn’t wall-to-wall Prada: Stacey Kimel, who was squiring around Marc Jacobs’ beau Lorenzo Martone, wore winged Balmain while Martone’s feet glowed in a pair of Louis Vuitton sneakers scribbled with Stephen Sprouse graffiti.

Gemma Ward may be ready to retire from her modelling career–her agent announced that she has no plans to continue on the catwalk. After photos of the absentee Australian surfaced on fashion blogs last week, Ward’s physique has come under scrutiny for being “plus-size,” as it has been with every model who starts to look normal.

Prada mixes palm trees and chandeliers for Spring 2010
It was an odd mix of slim shorts with unfinished hems, crystal-encrusted shoes and dresses and beachy prints that came down the runway at Prada today. But trying to read the mind of Miuccia Prada is like trying to understand the motivations of Greek gods: It’s impossible, so you should just go with it. Of said motvations: “Beach and antiquity — high and low — it is all the same,” the designer told Suzy Menkes. “It is supposed to be an ironic take — sometimes nostalgic, for a contemporary take on antiquity for those who don’t understand the beauty of the past.”

Inside FASHION’s men’s supplement
We’re currently putting together a men’s supplement, due out this fall. The timing is such that we’re working on it at the same time as our October issue so the FASHION offices are jammed–even more than usual. We don’t usually have any men’s fashion around these parts so the racks and boxes of merch are quite the novelty (though perhaps not as much as the male model currently down the hall). I took a few snaps of the (sorry, no model) action.

Milan: September 23
By Susie Sheffman
Waiting for a Prada show to begin is always an electrifying experience. First there’s the mad crush at the door, next, the confused scramble through a maze of seating, followed by the whispered buzz about what Mrs. Prada, as her staff lovingly call her, is about to show. Trust me: You can guess all you want, you will never get it right!
