Prada's Spring and Fall 2011 collections shot by Peter Stigter.

Sweet, sweet, surrealist joy. The Met’s Costume Institute has confirmed next spring’s mega exhibit, Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion, set to run from May 10 through August 19, 2012. As we originally reported in August, the exhibit will focus on the connections between the two Italian designers who, while working in completely different eras, share proclivities for the oddball, uncanny, and arty—Schiaparelli with her ’30s collabs with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau, and Prada with her ongoing relationships with some of today’s best known architects, artists, and foundations.

They said/We said: We’ve proverbially flipped our lids over the news of next year’s Met tribute to Schiaparelli and Prada!

Ever since the Met Costume Institute’s record-breaking Alexander McQueen exhibit closed, we’ve been itching to know what its successor would be. Well hear ye, ladies of quirk: Miuccia Prada and the legendary Elsa Schiaparelli are the next in line to be celebrated. While an official release from the museum has yet to be released, we’re thinking that WWD is a pretty credible source.

Both women brought Italian fashion into the spotlight but are known for very different styles. Schiaparelli was a close friend and collaborator of Salvador Dalí and repeatedly plucked from his surrealist inspirations. In fact, she is most known for her lobster dress of 1937, which was created in collaboration with Dalí (and once worn by Wallis Simpson). Prada, on the other hand, might need less of an introduction. Her titanic influence on the industry has been solidly felt across the world (as if spring’s infamous stripes didn’t say it on their own).

Curators Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton no doubt have some surprises up their sleeves, and we are dying to see what they have in store. Are they as excited as we are?

Rules were meant to be broken: These celebs are teaching us how to be fashion rebels!

Dos & don'ts

Old-school fashion rules are generally to our benefit. In a world of muffin tops and visible panty lines, they give us some Emily Post–like structure on how to flatter our bodies and look put together in the currently “anything goes” state of sartorial modernism. That being said there are some rules that just aren’t relevant anymore, limiting your wardrobe instead of making the most of it. Here, we learn from Hollywood’s finest that rules really are made to be broken.

MFW diary: Miuccia’s mashups soar to new heights at Prada

Stuffed full of pasta—my favourite, Spaghetti Rosa once again—and a good Chianti, I can now happily digest both my dinner and the Prada collection.  Prada shows have a tendency to get overly scrutinized so I’ll try some free association. When I think of the super-strong collection that just blasted by me, three little words instantly come to mind:
 innocent, fresh and modern.
 Okay, and a few more: the return of the coat dress, the swishy sound of saucer-size sequins as they waft by, the subtly beautiful blush pastel colour palette mixed with strong and clear reds. I loved Miuccia’s typical mashups of ‘20s, ‘40s and ‘60s, exaggerated swimcaps and goggles… or are they aviator hats? I promised I wouldn’t over-think.
