More quotes by Miuccia Prada
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.
Miuccia Prada
I realized that so many clever people respect fashion so much.
Miuccia Prada
In America many things that are interesting are seen as odd.
Miuccia Prada
I'm not interested in how people dress.

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
I don't believe in people who think that clothes are not important.

Miuccia Prada
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.
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
Ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.
Miuccia Prada
You cannot do something just for the money. You have to do things you believe in and eventually you will make money.
Miuccia Prada
Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.
Miuccia Prada
If you ask, do you like strong men or weak men, I'd say, I like who I like.
Miuccia Prada
You have to embrace the world if you want to live in it now.
Miuccia Prada
Women always try to tame themselves as they get older, but the ones who look best are often a bit wilder.
