Founded as a luxury leather goods house in Milan in 1913, Prada entered the fashion field when Miuccia Prada took the helm of the family business in 1979. After initially focusing exclusively on accessories, she presented the house's first fashion collection in 1988. She would soon transform Prada into one of the world's most influential luxury brands with a deeply personal, sophisticated, and subtly subversive approach. This definitive publication begins with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Miuccia Prada, before exploring the collections, organized chronologically. Each collection is presented with a short text revealing its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully selected catwalk images showcasing hundreds of spectacular garments, details, accessories, beauty looks, and scenographies, and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway, from Naomi Campbell and Gisele to Kate Moss and Kaia Gerber. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book. Language: English. For the return of this item, it is required to be in its protective plastic.
