TOO cool for SCHOOL


Miuccia Prada: the Queen of Quirk, herself
By now, we are all aware of how temperamental and picky Miuccia Prada is, no? The deemed "Queen of Quirk" espouses particular standards and predilections that border on the absurd (and racist) all out of need to preserve an ineffable, elusive form of cool around the line.

Y'know, like no Black models on the runway (like ever), no online presence (like ever), no discussion of family history (like ever): silly things like that. Don't get me wrong: love the woman's vision, love the clothes, just hate her politics.

Prada Spring 2011 campaign
Another quirk?: she has a thing for Hollywood's newest and freshest gamines hawking her wares. Loves them, in fact. Kirsten Dunst once had the honor...Maggie Gyllenhall...cough, cough...Lindsay Lohan ::side eye::. All young women with a seemingly certain indie flair, who spoke to the eclectic idea of femininity and sensuality. Beauty with a smirk, if you will.

 
Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu
Remember when she was cool?! I believe it was around the same time she was dating another Miu Miu model's brother.... 
Maggie Gyllenhaal for Miu Miu



Well, none other than my favorite new screen and fashion darling, Hailee Steinfeld, has taken the reins this season and she doesn't look the least bit of her fourteen years (or is it fifteen?!).






In fact, remember how I recently suggested the talent be home schooled due to her undeniable pre-teen swag (the mean girls/haters would eat her aliiiiive in homeroom)? 


Yes, well...this ad pretty much seals that deal. Ay, ay, ay, how fast they grow up!
