More quotes by Miuccia Prada
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.
Miuccia Prada
Many of us grew up with a kind of puritanism against shopping. But shopping can be much more than how it is cast. If you are bored or you have problems, it can be a way of lifting your spirits, by doing something light and superficial. Why not?
Miuccia Prada
I was a feminist in the Sixties, and can you imagine? The worst thing I could have done was to be in fashion. It was the most uncomfortable position.
Miuccia Prada
The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.
Miuccia Prada
I realized that so many clever people respect fashion so much.
Miuccia Prada
When you want to do something that is challenging or interesting or new, you never find the place. All the places are obvious or old or generic. And so you realize that the role of architecture is fundamental.

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

We, as designers, have a job with so many possibilities and connections. We are connected to so many different portals, from art to movies to music to design. Fashion is always evolving. Actually, the field is huge. I don't think there is another profession that is so open to so many possibilities.
Miuccia Prada
Women have the stress of being beautiful, of age and youth. Men don't have all that. And with women, that stress causes a lot of mistakes and bad choices - a lot of not being their true self.
Miuccia Prada
I hate the idea that you shouldn't wear something just because you're a certain age.
Miuccia Prada
I'm not interested in how people dress.
Miuccia Prada
I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.
Miuccia Prada
We will always buy clothes because they let us live our dreams.
Miuccia Prada
I’ve never wanted to be called an artist. The term itself seems old-fashioned. It’s a term that does not relate to modern times. And it’s too confining. What I love about fashion is its accessibility and its democracy. Everyone wears it, and everyone relates to it.
Miuccia Prada
What you wear represents you to the world, especially now, when communication between people is so fast. Fashion is a universal language that everyone understands.
Miuccia Prada
Clothes can be important. I am learning this. For instance, often when I design and I wonder what is the point, I think of someone having a bad time in their life.
Miuccia Prada
I like getting older and being the person who people ask for help.
Miuccia Prada
I have to say that my husband and my children are so tough, there really is no space for pretension.
Miuccia Prada
In America many things that are interesting are seen as odd.
