>> Those Spring 2009 Prada shoes are treacherous. This morning, Russian newcomer Yulia Kharlapanova opened at Jil Sander — and was heralded as "Milan's first star."  But just as fast as doors can open, they can also close; Later on in the day, Yulia stumbled and fell at Prada.  Ouch — of all runways, Prada is not one you want to fall on — it is perhaps the most singularly watched for casting choices and new modelling stars in the making.  A little condolence, Yulia: at least Jessica Stam stumbled, too.
