On the Prada circuit in Seoul, continued

blog_betsky_night.jpgAfter a hard day of sightseeing, our intrepid band of journalists trouped off to the opening party of the Transformer.  Miuccia ran the show in her black Gladiator outift, while Rem was understated in a gray Prada suit and black turtleneck.  Seoul's finest came mainly dressed "in the brand," my favorite being a woman wearing the white dress from the spring/summer collection that gathers in layers and then splits in the middle to reveal not cleavage, but a small line of flesh running down the middle of the torso.  (I was off-message in a Miyake suit.)  Afterwards, we repaired to the basement lounge of the Park Hyatt to celebrate with sushi.

This morning almost everyone wends their weary way back to Europe.
