Product Description

Prada is the first book that documents three decades of ground-breaking fashion, architecture, film and art by the Prada company, including the work of the design studio and the workshop; extensive creative partnerships with photographers, designers, architects and film directors; and large scale architectural commissions, the Fondazione Prada, and the development of a new museum.
 
Among the many features of this rich innovative book with its thousands of images are a photo-essay by renowned photographer Brigitte Lacombe, stills taken from short films documenting the craftsmanship of the factory, images of the unique fashion show environments, an overview of all Miuccia Prada's collections with thumbnail pictures of 3,885 different “looks,” collages of the most influential shoe and bags, photographs of the final product on the runway, celebrated store designs in New York and Los Angeles by Rem Koolhaas/OMAand in Tokyo by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, a film collaboration with director Ridley Scott, Koolhaas’s radical “Prada Transformer” pavilion in Seoul, costume designs for a Japanese manga heroine, Prada found on the street and celebrities photographed on the red carpet, and blogs expressing the almost fanatical devotion of lovers of the brand.
 
Prada both chronicles and epitomizes the achievements of one of the world's most influential and enlightened fashion and design companies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Book, December 21, 2009
By DAJ (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This is a very well done book, showing many of the facets of the business of Prada--the history, the manufacturing, the stores, and, above all, the clothes. Any fan of Prada will get hours and hours of pleasure looking through this tome. The photos are gorgeous. I think it could have been better in a couple of ways. 1) The complete collections are reduced to small thumbnail layouts. The clothes are central to Prada's legacy, so other areas of the book could have been reduced to allow for larger photos of the collections. 2) I would have liked some critical texts on the importance of Prada's work. Prada is a fashion innovator, and those of us who appreciate her work know that, but it would have been helpful to contrast her emphasis on paradigmatic fashion with creators like McQueen and Galliano who offer a more individualistic view of clothing. I suppose that sort of analysis will have to wait for a museum catalog. Perhaps it would have seemed too self-important in this type of venue. In any case, it is a beautiful book, and merits a place in any fashion fan's library.
