Big Bad Prada: A Wolf Dressed in Miuccia's Clothing

While heading to dinner last night, the window display at Prada stopped me in my tracks. There, perched on the edge of a bed, was a dandied up version of the big bad wolf of Little Red Riding Hood fame. Having presumably just devoured poor feeble, defenseless Grandma (as evidenced by her sad remains -- the delicate silk cap she'd worn to bed that evening), he now sat with his hungry gaze trained on the sidewalk, waiting for . . . you.


UPDATE: Coworker Cortny saw my post and commented that it looked like they ripped off the idea from a Bergdorf Goodman window. I Googled and sure enough, found some evidence, courtesy of Audrey and the Bad Apple. I happen to think that Bergdorfs did it better, but let me know what you think.

UPDATED UPDATE: I've just gotten schooled by been informed via commenters that this window was actually built around an editorial concept featured in the September Vogue, and that its creation also figured prominently in the movie The September Issue. I flipped through my copy and there was the spread, set in a fantastical forest, with a ravishing Natalia Vodianova cast as Litte Red Riding Hood, wearing the most brilliant of reds. NV looks gorgeous as usual, and the BBW makes a few appearances (in one scene, he sits on the bed as pictured above and eyes her as she cautiously approaches in a fiery Ann Demeulemeester dress and leather corset). I haven't had a chance to see The September Issue yet, but I'm trying to make it happen this weekend and will definitely be looking out for it.
