"An Excuse for Eccentricity" - Golf Inspires Prada

Creators of golf apparel often cite the fashion runways as inspiration for their designs, but the reverse was true last month in Milan at Prada's 2012 Menswear show in Milan... and the ironic thing is: Miuccia Prada hates golf.

Then again, the Italian designer has been quite open about being inspired by things she's not fond of and in this case she did admit that the wacky world surrounding golf, with its eccentric dress codes and good-taste-be-damned point of view, had rather captivated her.

If you like Loudmouth Golf styles... on steroids... with a dash of Lilly Pulitzer... on crack... you'll surely love  this collection.  

More on the Prada line... and reaction to it... tomorrow.  In the meantime you can get a bit of an idea of what I'm talking about by checking out the clip below:

    live in the American heartland where men are men and guys don't carry flowered golf bags. ;)

    Our league doesn't have a single guy who could/would pull off those golf fashions, I'm guessing that's because they're intended fellows under 60.

    I LOVE the bags! I'm quite sure it'll be mainly gals who buy them. Love the shoes too but I don't suppose they'll come in women's sizes. Damn.

    Rickie Fowler's outfits look boring next to those.

    @thegolfshark That is hilarious, yet oh so true. The bags are fantastic and I'd buy one in a flash, but the clothes were hideous.

    Not even the pretty boys who have game in my Connecticut golf league would wear clothing like that. They'd get laughed right out of the 19th hole. Prada? Not even The Donald would wear it on the golf course.
