THE GENTLEMAN


There is something very strange about him. Very strange and fascinating at the same time. His eyes make you forget the collection, even that psychedelic soundtrack. He makes you forget about the fact that are lots of known faces on the runway. Everything is secondary after him. This picture makes you wonder about him. Makes you want to know more about him. Why Miuccia? Why him? Who is he? Why is he crying?
The collection wasn't the best. There were everything you could expect for a Prada gentleman, but it wasn't over the top. Miuccia once again proved that she knows how to design shoes. She knows what a gentleman must have on his foot. But I'm still obsessed with the shoes from S/S 11. Nothing can top those shoes. The actors were a funny surprise. Even if some choices of casting were less interesting than others, the final review is good. Gary Oldman was the best of them all. He was the only one who took it serious. The only one who did he's job correctly. He was not there as a model, he was there as an actor and he gave a excellent performance like he always does.
But if you think about the collection, this group of officers walking on a underground headquarter, with this music that you immediately think about a thriller/psycho/horror movie, you know something is going on. This was, definitely a headquarter of some military organization. It was a secret base, and we were watching silently the arrival of the most important chiefs of every division to some very important meeting. They were going to make some heavy decisions. That gave meaning to the whole thing. That gave depth to the collection. There was mystery in the air.
But then it all stopped when I saw this man. He was the high point of the show. He made me forget about all the wonderful jackets and shirts that this collection offered because I was petrified by his eyes. Why Miuccia? Why him? Why he is crying? Who is he? What is his story? Does he have kids? A wife? Did he kill someone? Does he regret it? So many questions unanswered, so many possibilities. I love you Miuccia for that. God, I'm obsessed.

ps: he is Hugo Villard.
