| Prada Fall/Winter 2007-2008 Collection |
For Fall/Winter 2007/2008, Prada succinctly delivered a potpourri of previous collections - Men's Fall 2007, Women's Spring 2005 - not without the mad hatter magic that excites the fashion crowd like no other. Sasha Pivavrova, Irina Kulikova, Anabela Belikova and Nick Snider are testimonials of the Ad campaign shots by Steven Meisel.
It's no secret that Miuccia Prada has both a tendency and a knack for transforming the lackluster, even the downright repulsive, into the lusted. She's done it with suede, multi-hued plumage, and now with shag-like fabric that immediately recalls 70s carpeting.
Mario Prada founded Prada Company, originally known in Italian as Fratelli Prada, in 1913. In 1978, Mario's granddaughter Miuccia Prada inherited what was still a leather goods business from her mother, and led the company's expansion into couture. Miuccia Prada designed Prada’s first prêt-à-porter in the autumn/winter season of 1989. Like the current Gucci and Christian Dior groups, Prada held, for a time, a portfolio of designer labels under its corporate umbrella. Following the lead of other companies in a popular trend to absorb as many other fashion houses as possible, Prada took on large debts when it acquired the financially floundering Rome-based house of Fendi in the early 1990s. Prada handbags and accessories are frequently counterfeited due to their standing as a status symbol. Their relatively simple design makes counterfeiting easy, and buyers may have difficulty discerning between authentic bags and fakes. |
