Sandi in the City

British Vogue has named Lara Stone “Model of the Year” in the December 2009 issue.  Having replaced Madonna as the face of Louis Vuitton, Mario Testino captured Lara in the fashion layout “Stone Age,” which is just as rich and decadent as the cover, as she seems to emerge from piles of tulle and layers.

Patrizio Bertelli and Miuccia Prada unveiled a 706-page tome here that caps 30 years of innovations and experiments in fashion, art, architecture, cinema and communications.

"For Prada, fashion, luxury and style go beyond producing an infinity of clothes and shoes, so the book wants to illustrate the various aspects through which Prada expresses itself," said Bertelli, chief executive officer of Prada Group.
Entitled “Prada,” the book is published by Prada Progetto Arte and retails for 100 euros. It will be sold in Prada stores worldwide, in select bookstores and on Prada.com.
