Prada Catwalk, Book

A stunning and detailed look at three decades of Prada's innovative designs through impressive catwalk photographs. Founded in 1913 as a leather goods house in Milan, Prada entered the world of fashion when Miuccia Prada took over the leadership of the company in 1979. After concentrating on accessories, she presented the house's first fashion collection in 1988, quickly turning Prada into one of the world's most influential luxury brands. Her deeply personal, sophisticated and subtly subversive approach often challenges the clichés of beauty and sensuality, as she strives, in her own words, to be "smarter, or harder, or more complicated... or younger".

Published in collaboration with Prada to celebrate 30 years of trendsetting creations, this book offers a comprehensive and definitive history of the house.
Organised chronologically, each Prada collection is presented with a description of its influences and highlights, and illustrated with stunning catwalk images of models such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Gisele Bündchen showing off clothes, accessories and extraordinary beauty looks. With a biographical profile of Miuccia Prada and an elaborate presentation of references, this elegant and well-researched retrospective reflects the passion, craftsmanship and creative spirit that define Prada.
