_Elegantly Waisted




_Mrs Prada has been throwing her heart and Seoul into the Waist Down exhibition, which is about to open at the new Rem Koolhaus designed Prada Transformer space in Seoul. The Transformer is a groundbreaking temporary building that over the course of the next year will actually rotate and transform three times.

Waist Down is essentially a big collection of skirts from Mrs P's personal archive, dating back as far as 1998. She claims that season on season the skirt persists as an inexhaustible source of inspiration, which is why this exhibition has constantly traveled and evolved, morphing its way across five cities since it opened in Tokyo in 2004.

This time round the show includes extra skirts designed by fashion students from eight design programmes across Seoul, which, according to the organisers means that the show "intergrates internationally acclaimed fashion design with the seeds of creativity sewn in Seoul."
