Prada

The quintessential Italian fashion house
Talk of the town: There’s a big buzz around the Prada Foundation’s forthcoming contemporary art space in a restored 18th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal.

Dating back to 1913, the house of Prada blends clean lines with exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality materials. The designs are often sleek and subtle but they like to throw in some unexpected combinations.
This hugely successful family-run business – headed up by feminist heiress, Miuccia Prada and her husband, Patrizio Bertelli – is said to be worth over USD 9 billion. Appealing to the stylish and well-heeled, their range includes luxurious men and women’s clothing, bags, shoes and eyewear.
