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

Ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.

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 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.

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.

You have to always work against what you did before, and even against your taste.

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.

I like getting older and being the person who people ask for help.
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
Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.

If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.
Miuccia Prada
Image
Women always try to tame themselves as they get older, but the ones who look best are often a bit wilder.

Image
I have to say that my husband and my children are so tough, there really is no space for pretension.
Miuccia Prada
Image
I don't want to say temporary, because temporary is such a trendy word.

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