Prada
Intellectual Luxury
The House of Mario Prada
Founded by Mario Prada in 1913 as a leather goods shop in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Prada has evolved into one of the world's most influential luxury fashion houses. Known for its intellectual approach to design and innovative use of materials.
Under Miuccia Prada's creative direction since 1978, the house has challenged fashion conventions with thought-provoking collections that blend high art with commercial appeal. Prada's minimalist aesthetic and conceptual approach have redefined modern luxury.
Today, Prada continues to push boundaries under the collaborative leadership of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, creating collections that are both intellectually stimulating and commercially successful, maintaining the house's position as a cultural innovator.
