Miuccia Prada's pioneering approach also extended to architecture. She was one of the first designers to commission Pritzker Prize laureates Rem Koolhaas and Herzog & de Meuron to create Prada's "Epicenter" stores in New York, Tokyo and Los Angeles. In 1995, Prada and Bertelli's passion for contemporary art led them to create the Fondazione Prada with the aim of presenting "the most radical intellectual challenges in contemporary art and culture". Since then, the institution has staged exhibitions on artists including Sam Taylor-Johnson, Anish Kapoor and Marc Quinn. In March 2011, the Fondazione Prada announced the opening of its new exhibition space in Venice, the Ca' Corner della Regina, a historic palazzo on the Grand Canal which will be restored over a period of six years.

Meet Miuccia Prada
The lady with the pleated knee-length skirt and blue sweater has always made journalists and stylists go crazy, following all her likes and dislikes.
In the early ‘90s Miuccia created Miu Miu, a female brand with a Parisian style; through the Women’s Tales series she promoted the cinematographic work of young talented women; and in 1993 she opened the Prada Foundation, the avant-garde nerve center of the artistic-cultural scene of Milan.

And so, from collection to collection, Miuccia Prada shapes the spirit of the women of the time by reminding them to never hide behind labels of any kind. For this, we thank you Miuccia, for your obsessions and wonderful contradictions, which are also ours!

Miuccia Prada is far too smart to mistake herself for a politician. “I don’t want to be political. Not officially political. When people ask that, I say no; in my work, I am not in the right position,” she said that backstage, her eyes glinting and her shoulders rising in a huge Italian shrug. But then she laughed conspiratorially: “I have to . . . sneak it in.” Let the decoding and deciphering of her Prada-sphere rest here a moment. One look at the pictures, and it’s plain to see: For all its complexity, Fall 2017 is a quintessentially multicolored, ostrich-feathered, crystal-fringed Prada humdinger of a collection.
It started somewhere in the late ’60s, early ’70s, perhaps, with hip corduroy flares, hand-knitted scarves, Baker Boy hats and patchwork leather and snakeskin coats. It moved on through all the curvy sex-bomb tropes of the ’50s, in a fuzzy, embroidered-angora sweater girl kind of way—who better than Lindsey Wixson to sashay a tight, red, in-and-out cocktail number with a whoosh in the hem? Turquoise and coral ostrich feather flew on hemlines; crystal fringing swish
