Prada Catwalk: The Complete Collections

Founded as a luxury leather goods house in 1913 in Milan, Prada entered the fashion field when Miuccia Prada took the helm of the family company in 1979. After initially focusing exclusively on accessories, she presented the house’s first fashion collection in 1988. She soon transformed Prada into one of the world’s most influential luxury brands with a deeply personal, sophisticated, and subtly subversive approach. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Miuccia Prada, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text revealing its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully selected catwalk images showcasing hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the leading 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.
