I have to admit, I enjoy perusing photos on The Sartorialist’s blog. Although I am not a fashionista by any standards, the thousands of photos of elegantly garbed men and women inspire me. Aside from admiring the couture conscious and daring trendsetters, it is a nice change from reading fashion magazines with pages of advertisements and brands inserted into the text. So I was slightly shocked when I looked at his blog today and found...Prada. The woman featured in the post (apparently a fashion blogger in her own right) wasn’t wearing an awe-inspiring ensemble; she was instead photographed for her fabulous footwear.
And no, she wasn’t wearing glass slippers. The Sartorialist further added to Prada’s allure by commenting on the coveted shoes and their lack of availability. Looks like product placement to me. Perhaps Prada sent a pair to the stylish blogger after his post.
