Speaking of Prada, it is impossible to mention Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue USA, the fashion bible and the prototype of "The Devil Wears Prada", who has a soft spot for Prada. After the film's release, Prada's popularity skyrocketed, and working women were indispensable to carry one or two Prada items with them. Founder Mario Prada's granddaughter and current designer Miuccia Prada has grown into an evergreen in the industry through her extraordinary fashion acumen and the introduction of contemporary art and social influences into the design of several collections.
 
While Miuccia Prada sees Mary Janes as inspiration, it's her passion for subverting the classics. Prada's Mary Janes aren't fancy, but they're definitely eye-catching. The perfect dazzling piece to wear for a party away is this pair of silver Mary Janes with a simple silhouette of high-shine leather with a square toe that shines between taps and can be worn with pastel-hued skirts or sleek suits. The 2017 new collection of the same series is more girly, with a silver heel embellished with blue and yellow rubber flowers, and the details are quite ingenious.
 
Also lighting up the show was a pair of lace-up Mary Jane shoes, with patent leather red being the most impressive. The cut-out design at the waist and the double tie on the upper form a trapezoidal skin-baring area, giving the relatively conservative classic Mary Jane a little more sexy fun.
 
Velvet and suede are also Prada's favoured leathers, embellished with metal studs and glass gemstones for an understated sense of luxury, which can be worn with cashmere coats in autumn and winter. If you're looking for a Mary Jane with its simplicity and design details, Prada is a must-see.
