Of course, being Prada, a jacket probably costs several thousand dollars! And you thought minis were expensive?

Ah, but they're very stylish. I predict that in 6 months that look will be all over the place and cost $20.

Oldman and Dafoe look good in those outfits. I on the other hand would look like a complete twat in the same cut of jib.

For once the fashion industry makes something interesting. One can only hope this spreads, I completely loathe the trailer trash fashion we have today complete with fugly prints and brands all over the clothes.
This is stylish and clean turn of the century (1900) looking fashion.

Its couture so I doubt it will take off and become a trend but it could have an effect on the style and cut of some more mainstream garments. I'm sure that Americans wearing frock coats again is a sign of the end times.

I would not mind seeing that short jacket in a leather motorcycle version.

I think Brother Anatoli is right, we will see cleaner lines and smarter looks - by the Gods the world could do with it!

Properly priced a few of those would attract my money.

He's right you know, a gentleman should always look his best at the dinner table, shortly before adjourning to the billiard room for port and cigars. :D

Handling offense with regards to innuendo. Single beer penalty and aggrieved parties receive a free kick.
