• About Miuccia Prada

  Educated in political science and a member of the Communist party, Miuccia Prada was the granddaughter and heir of the Prada label. With her husband, Patrizio Bertelli, the two took over the business and changed the way the company has influenced the fashion scene. With fashion forward designs and the hip, more affordable Miu Miu, Prada has maintained a middle ground between old-world Italian luxury with bohemian themes.
