Prada - The Fine Art of Fashion


Prada was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada in the city of Milan. Before it was the couture label we know today, it was known as "Prada Brothers" in Italy--a leather goods business. But the label’s foray beyond luggage didn't happen until Mario's granddaughter, Miuccia Prada, inherited the it in 1978. It was Miuccia who led the company into high fashion, expanding the leather goods business into a line of clothing and accessories. In 1989, Prada made its official ready-to-wear launch on the Milan runway. Miuccia started Prada's second line of clothing called Miu Miu in 1992. The Miu Miu line evokes high-end vintage, but is simple in its execution of style. Prada is widely recognized as one of the most influential clothing designers in the fashion industry, influencing runways around the globe.

So what do you think about it? Shoes can be devil or anything like this? If you take a look at the classic black leather jackets or just pay a little attention to leather blazer jackets for men you will like this style!
