Daring to wear something different takes effort.

I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

I'm not interested in how people dress. Of course, I recognize if somebody's elegant. But fashion doesn't interest me.
Miuccia Prada

I'm not interested in types. I'm interested in archetypes.
Miuccia Prada

You need to have dignity towards how you are, how you dress, how you behave. Very important.

Ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.

Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.

I think more and more, if you live in the current world - and live internationally - it's all a mix of interests, and the same people who are interested in fashion are also interested in movies, art, and culture.

I like to be useful to people.

If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.

My family was too serious. They didn't take care of me - it was a very serious and severe life. Not severe in a bad way just boring - like totally neutral. I felt no emotion.

Image
Seduction is a matter of feelings and people opening themselves. I don't think it's something tricky - it's being human. And everybody is seduced by something different.

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing.

I would say there is no Prada woman. I'm interested in women in general. I don't have any kind of preference.

If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing. In fact, most of my work is concerned with destroying—or at least deconstructing—conventional ideas of beauty, of the generic appeal of the beautiful, glamorous, bourgeois woman. Fashion fosters clichés of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.
