~ Prada in Marfa ~

The desert is a vast open space that is full of surprises (I guess you can say the same about Texas as a whole). Well, there was no surprise bigger than driving down a desolate highway and seeing Prada in Marfa, Texas. It turned out to be an art exhibit, and it was a nice diversion.

You just never know when that mirage isn't...

In the middle of nowhere stands a Prada shop
Note the bustling metropolis surrounding Prada?

People from all over the country (and world) leave their business cards,
ATM cards and even school ID's when they pay homage to Prada.

Sponsored by the locale art council and residents, the Prada display
features authentic Prada shoes and handbags from the 2005 line.
