So I decided to do some articles on famous designers. Everyone wears these nice designer clothes, yet I bet they don't know the history behind it. So here's Miuccia Prada. 1985 marked her first important benchmark when she scored her largest professional success to date. She released what would ultimately become the signature Prada handbag. A classic, black nylon bag, it was simultaneously delicate but sturdy. An instant hit, it was quickly seen hanging on the arms of supermodels and the international fashion elite such as Marie Helvin and Jerry Hall.
While the line was becoming a must have, the prices were prohibiting all but the rich and famous from owning them. Replicas began flooding the market, which only served to make the authentic products of the Prada line all the more desirable.1989 brought the first ready-to-wear collection to the runway. Composed of dark tones, classic cuts, and simple designs, the line stood in stark contrast to the bright, overtly sensual lines of its competitors. Critics were enthralled, and Prada was instantaneously raised to the upper echelons of high fashion.
The success continued unabated, and 1992 saw the release of Miu Miu, a slightly cheaper bridge line. With lowered prices and looks that were less austere, the earthy, more stylistically daring patterns continue to be a hit with the fashion-minded youth.
All the hard work culminated in 1993 when Prada was honored with a Council of Fashion Designers of America International Award. The following year, she had earned enough fashion recognition to debut in New York and London. Her two lines are currently staples at Milan’s fashion week.In addition to fashion, Prada is currently revered for her heavy financial support of various artistic endeavors.
