Miuccia Prada
Italian, b. 1949
Miuccia Prada, the granddaughter of Prada founder Mario Prada, joined the family business at the iconic luxury fashion house in 1970 after earning a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Milan. When she inherited the business from her mother in the late 1970s, Prada was recognized for its quality craftsmanship, yet it was still a modest-sized company.
Miuccia introduced the concept of using pocone — a military-grade water-resistant nylon that feels like silk. Nylon revolutionized the fashion house’s business, with the first Prada nylon backpack released to universal acclaim in 1984. Soon the durable, water-resistant material was incorporated into Prada’s ready-to-wear collections for both men and women. No one had previously considered nylon a part of luxury fashion, and it wasn’t long before the family-owned company best known for its luggage was leading modern style that emphasized function as much as form.
Characterized by clean lines and a refined elegance that signaled the new direction of the legacy brand, Miuccia debuted her first ready-to-wear collection for women in Fall/Winter 1988. More inventive fashion would follow in the ensuing years, such as the 1993 launch of the more affordable Miu Miu line, which was aimed at a younger audience, and the introduction of Prada Sport in 1997 — a collection now widely seen as prescient for its embrace of athleisure.
Miu Miu is largely known for its vintage day dresses, shoes and bags, and embodies its creator’s unconventional, effervescent and contemporary femininity in a style that is a delightful departure from the traditional chic of its parent brand.
Today, Miuccia still heads the fresh, colorful and quirky Miu Miu line, and its widely loved handbags continue to be upbeat, daring and youthful. The brand is embraced by celebrities with a similar sense of sartorial rebellion, like Madonna, Drew Barrymore and Chloë Sevigny.

Prada Resort 2008 Pink Floral Silk Full Skirt
By Prada, Miuccia Prada
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Italian luxury brand Prada has made a mark with their refined styles and classic reinventions. However, the namesake designer Miuccia Prada is no stranger to considering creative twists. 2008 was an incredible year for Prada in which several of her collections, including the Fairy and Resort collections, were runaway successes. The Resort collection was composed of an array of classically pretty skirts, dresses, and retro pantsuits in a range of floral prints and polka dots that were paired with playful pumps and mules.
As seen as look #4 on that season’s runway, this wonderful Prada Resort skirt is a rare find that was featured in ad campaigns. Resort collections are produced in limited quantities to begin with, and this particular collection sold out soon after it was released. Other looks from the collection featuring the same print were photographed on many celebrities, including Eva Green for the January 2008 cover of British Vogue, Lily Allen, and many others.
Size 38 IT
Size estimate: XS/S
Waist: 24 inches
Hips: full
Length: 34 inches
Done in silk, the skirt features a winding floral print in shades of navy, eggplant, lavender, and green on a light pink ground. The skirt sits higher up on the waist and is pleated with origami-like folded panels at both the front and back skirt, that give it a full, bell-shaped volume. The skirt falls from the waist to a midi-length at the calves, creating a striking 1950’s inspired silhouette that allows the print to shine. A special addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this Prada skirt can easily be styled with a silk blouse and statement heels, and is the perfect choice for a garden party or special occasion.

Prada has characteristically pushed boundaries. Fashion put forth by the brand often features a meticulous balance of modern edginess and a refined sophistication. Playing on the classic design inspiration of hard and soft, the Fall/Winter 1999 collection told a largely monochromatic story that bridged several additional opposites such as masculine//feminine and
natural/man made through a combination of texture, transparency, and drape. Done in a rugged army green, this Prada tank top...

Prada Python Green Fur Coat Runway 2011
By Prada, Miuccia Prada
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Python was the essential exotic print on the Fall/ Winter 2011 runway, replacing leopard as the must have trend of the season from the previous year. With collections by houses such as Missoni, Gucci, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton incorporating python on everything from pants to jackets, python became the instant glam accessory, though Prada’s collection stood out for its tongue in cheek line up of “good girl” silhouettes, which was largely comprised of drop waist dresses and coats.
"It’s very complex” said Miuccia Prada of her 2011 Fall/Winter collection, which included python trompe l'oeil high heel boots and handbags. "… I started with the idea of women’s obsessions with typical materials like fur, python, and paillettes, but then to introduce freshness and innocence to turn them into something different.” From that collection, this magnificent python coat...

Prada Black Silk Yellow Floral Camisole Top, 2005

Located in Boca Raton, FL
Minimalism and traditional are hard aesthetics to pull off, however time after time Prada has been able to create modern yet classic staples that give off an aura of ease and exuberance. By combining sleek lines and austere blacks with floral prints and crafty appliqués, Prada’s Fall 2005 collection showcased confidence and femininity through a series of structured and slinky ensembles. From that collection, this camisole is made from a silk crepe with a slight stretch. The fabric is printed with warm brush-stroked flowers in shades of honey, brown and copper. From two spaghetti straps, this cami rests low on the bust and dips a little further as it moves towards the back. It drapes gently down to the waist with an ever-so-slight flare on the back. With a fresh, neutral print...
