A dark pendant in the shape of a monkey with large lips

How little is enough to create a problem. A small cute key chain Otto Toto, which was part of the Pradamalia luxury collection, is being withdrawn from the sales. All due to the fact that on social networks someone started a very tough debate about racism.

It is all due to contribution of Chinyere Ezie, a lawyer for the Center for Constitutional Rights in America 

"Today after returning to NYC after a very emotional visit to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture including an exhibit on blackface, I walked past Prada's Soho storefront only to be confronted with the very same racist and denigrating #blackface imagery," For Chinyere it was so terribly wrong and outrageous that she even contacted the Prada luxury fashion house.

Prada had to accept responsibility and apologise

Although the luxury fashion house apparently did not intend to harm or ridicule anyone, it accepted responsibility and apologised. Who had therefore intended to buy a key chain with Otto Toto, is unfortunately unable to do so. But the other key chains are beautiful, too, and will certainly look very decorative on your handbag. 

"Prada is disgusted by racist views. The Pradamalia collection is composed of imaginary elements from Prada designs. These are imaginary characters which are not to embody the real world, and certainly not racism. Prada did not intend to insult anyone and we condemn all forms of racism and racist imagery. Due to which interest we are withdrawing these characters from circulation."

What is your own opinion on this collection?

1. Attico - glow of an incandescent Christmas comet

My first choice fell on the dress “Sequin Velvet Midi Dress”, which particularly captured my attention thanks to its bright silver colour literally reminiscent of a Christmas comet! Sequins which are precisely sewn onto luxurious velvet: divine! Furthermore, the combination of Paris blue with silver is an undying classic! And the cut? It resembles a dressing gown, which is precisely what we want! A cut that can handle not only all sorts of yogi positions in the kitchen, but tanks to the belt you can also tackle the twentieth type of Christmas cookie from your grandmother.

2. Rebecca de Ravenel - royal elegance

But it you are one of those women who celebrate Christmas literally in royal style, you are sure to appreciate a dress by Rebecca de Ravenel "Black Strapless Silk and Wool Blend Midi Dress". This style reminiscent of the one of Jackie Kennedy is not only beautiful, elegant and classic, but above all absolutely timeless! In addition, their cut offers to prerequisite level of comfort and the luxury velvety trim in the décolletage perfectly accentuates the magical Christmas atmosphere.

The price: CZK 33,060,-

3. Oscar de la Renta - Christmas for an oligarch

This is just a bit of diversion, since the price tag of this "Strapless Long Gown" is the same as that of a smaller car. However, billionaires, oligarchs and goodness knows who else are also only people and will certainly appreciate my TIP OF THE DAY. I certainly do not wish to endorse the unwritten Czech rule that success, power and money are undesired in case of other people. On the contrary, we accept it as an incentive to work even harder and carve out some for ourselves, too! This dress is a dream. Elegant gold, disappearing into nothing like tiny bubbles in a glass of Champagne… Simply a jewel!

4. P.A.R.O.S.H. - a purple present

And now back to the ground! I chose a dress for you which will literally turn you into a walking present. And no wonder. Each one of you has gathered enough merit points throughout the year, so there is no reason to put on a boring LBD. Here, I enjoy not only the colour, which evokes the Czech Christmas carol "Purpura", but also its cut. It is clear that perhaps everyone is sampling all sorts of sweets already throughout Advent, cookies and chocolates from St. Nicholas and such like. And this dress is simply a clever way of concealing a couple of inches extra,...

5. Dior - Style of the USA First Lady

And to conclude, here is a little red cherry on the cake. And that is the first lady of the USA, Melania Trump. She is, despite all here mishaps basically perfect in one sphere. What sphere is that? Of course, we are talking about fashion. She has, as a former model, fashion style in her little finger, and I love it. Among my Christmas champions belongs the "Silk and Wool dress" by Christian Dior. They are simply perfect and accentuate perfectly the Christmas atmosphere and the overall magic. Hello, hello ...Family Trump talking!

The price: CZK 170,200,-
