Miuccia Prada is known almost as much for her passion for art as she is for her designs. In the second part of WWD’s interview with the designer while she was here for a showing of her spring-summer 2011 collection, Prada talks about the confluence of fashion and art, shares her thoughts on the fast-fashion boom and reveals her views on the fashion system.Everyone says it’s old but every time somebody thinks of something to do to really change it, there isn’t this great solution. Because, in any case, putting the men’s and women’s together, I think for a designer it’s a strain. You can put three male models in a show but if you really want to do a men’s collection, you can’t think of a men’s and women’s collection together it’s too much.Prada Shoes MenNot doing shows would be very convenient. For example, if I didn’t have to do shows, I’d be on vacation half the year. The work behind a runway show is a big job in which [you put] all of your best efforts. Where you really push your ideas, trying to understand everything you have in mind, what really makes sense and what doesn’t. If it was just about selling, it would be much, much easier. But despite the fact it’s a very tough job, it’s definitely useful to your work. I think if everyone didn’t have to do shows, they wouldn’t work as well.
Prada desinger also said that”I have never even considered it and I’ve explained why. It’s because I don’t like the idea of a bad copy of what one does for the main brand. If I had an ingenious idea to do fashion that costs less but that wasn’t a bad copy of something else, with completely different criteria and ways of doing things, I would do it. Also for myself, it would be an ingenious idea. For now, what I see more or less is the bad copy. Also with clothes that cost little, you need to ask why they cost so little. Because no one ever asks themselves that.But it definitely is part of today so it’s all fine. I don’t have a problem with it. Everything that happens happens, so there’s no need to be against it. It’s logical that it’s like this.It’s what everyone wants and I resist it because I want to be relevant in my own way.Prada Shoes Man HightI try to simplify my ideas and make them more simple but beyond a certain point, the simplification is not a positive thing.…So extracting the essence of a brand so that a brand is just a bow, the brand is just a heart, the brand is just black…everyone would want that. Even the customers would want that. The majority of people want to just sell and probably Kawakubo would have found this aspect negative. Because in the end she didn’t want to banalize what she does and almost become a caricature of herself.
Prada, an Italy based fashion house is well-known for its cutting-edge bags and colorful Miu Miu dresses.It’s clear that Chanel is known for the little jacket and Vuitton for the LV and us? Nobody really knows what we are, which is fortunate. Because I try to resist making a banal product. It’s clear that, as the world continues to get bigger, a bit of simplification is necessary but not to the point where it becomes totally useless or uninteresting.Luxury products are costly because the companie manufacture in Europe, produce with salaries that have to be paid. You have to pay for everything that is needed to do research etc., etc. It’s clear that these things cost money. It’s not like the owners of luxury brands make enormous profits. Probably the [mass market players] earn much more.Gucci WholesaleRenowned fashion brand Prada has inked a joint venture agreement with Al Tayer Insignia LLC to distribute its Prada and Miu Miu brands in five middle-east countries.Al Tayer, a United Arab Emirates based company is a subsidiary of Al Tayer group, a distributor of luxury goods in the Middle EastThe joint venture to be based in Dubai, will distribute Prada products in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman,Guess Handbags, Bahrain and Kuwait.
