I can't capture the beauty of the Mirage!

I had the same problem! I finally took a pic in the bright sun and this is what it looks like. Not a great picture, but you get the idea :heart:

u are too funny...thanks for educating moi!!

the Mirage was originally called Degrade.

Degrade is term used in photography & painting. The collection this year was based on the painting "girl with the pearl earring" by Vermeer (which the movie of the same name starred Scarlett Jo (see the link))

The term Degrade means Graduated shading hence the two tone effect you see on the bags and many of the clothes shown on the runway. Why the name was switched to Mirage I'm not sure maybe it's because of the haze effect you get around a mirage

Sometimes you will see it callled mirage but they refer to the effect on the bag as degrade still and it is still called Degarde in Paris.

Ok I'll take off my history lecturer hat now
