"I was trying to be very elegant in a very different way," Prada continued. "It was not about destroying elegance, but achieving a different kind. There was a mixture of the rich and the poor fabrics, a manipulation of fabric and material to mean something else." She added: "The femme fatale is never perfect…at least the ones I like." - style.com
