Founded in 1913 in Milan as a luxury leather goods house, Prada entered fashion 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 turn Prada into one of the world's most influential luxury brands with a highly personal, sophisticated and subtly subversive approach.
This definitive publication begins with a brief history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Miuccia Prada, before exploring the collections themselves, organised chronologically.
Each collection is introduced by a short text revealing its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images showing hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs - and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them, from Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bundchen to Kate Moss and Kaia Gerber. A rich reference section, including a comprehensive index, concludes the book.
