Prada: Miuccia Prada
built 651 days ago
With this thrillingly prescient presentation, Miuccia Prada once again proved that she is peerless in her ability to distill current events into a fashion moment. Typically cryptic backstage, she said the show was about "men's forbidden dreams," foremost among them battle and hunting. Hence the video screens that ringed the catwalk, depicting a 15th-century painting of medieval warfare by Paolo Uccello that was chopped and changed so that it read like a 21st-century computer game. This face-off between ancient and modern, barbarism and "civilization," animated the collection.

Miuccia Prada's grandfather, Mario, founded the family luxury leather goods company in Milan in 1913. In 1978, a reluctant Miuccia assumed the reins from her mother, after completing a PhD in Political Science.

Italian designer Miuccia Prada repeatedly delivers the must-have styles and accessories, season after season. Savor the wallets, handbags, and luggage; the leather detailing is impeccable, much to the chagrin of every Canal Street knock-off vendor.
