Image
Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.
Miuccia Prada
Image
I remember being mad about having pink and red shoes. I gew up envying other girls' pink and red shoes.
Miuccia Prada
Image
The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.
Miuccia Prada
Image
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.

Image
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.

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.

Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting. Maybe because it is newer. The investigation of ugliness is, to me, more interesting than the bourgeois idea of beauty. And why? Because ugly is human.

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.

I always have this idea to create and display activities somewhere else around the world, but in fact it's been very difficult since the start, as you have to find the right place that can represent, or could be as significant as, your ideals. It rarely happens.

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.

If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.
Miuccia Prada
Image
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
Image
I always believe in doing new things and using new materials that I have never used or that I didn't like for a long time.
Miuccia Prada
Image
The process of a date, I think, is terrible. Horrible. Because everything is banal and predicted.
Miuccia Prada
Image
I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.
Miuccia Prada
Image
Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually.
Miuccia Prada
Image
I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.
Miuccia Prada
Image
I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

Because of the Prada name, I can do things that people normally would not care about in the culture. I can have an exhibit by some forgotten artist who I love, and because it's Prada, people will come see it.
