Thank God for [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-fine-jewelry): They have only done a S/S '09 collection especially designed to enhance the natural beauty and sexiness of normal women. Hallelujah!

I am always for fashion that is easy to wear. And what can be more easy than a crinkled dress you won’t have to iron? These lovely gold frocks with ruffled details are from Prada’s runway [Spring/Summer RTW collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025). However, as the video shows, the models had quite a hard time walking in the super high-heeled shoes on the catwalk.

Prada always knows how to turn on the [sensual charm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich). The models for this collection look gorgeously provocative, with dresses arranged to look like they could fall off at any given moment.
