A fluid perspective that becomes the Group’s manifesto, suggesting a unique approach to doing business by placing at the core of ethical and action principles essential values such as freedom of creative expression, reinterpretation of what already exists, preservation of know-how and enhancement of people’s work. The Prada Group is a contemporary interpreter of changing scenarios. In a three- dimensional temporal dialogue that combines the identity heritage of the past with demands and dynamics of the present and future perspectives, creativity molds ideas that transcend the boundaries of the ordinary and create an innovative vision of tomorrow. “Thorough observation and curiosity for the world around us have always been at the heart of the creativity and modernity of the Prada Group. In society, and thus in fashion, which is somehow a reflection of it, the only constant is change. The transformation and innovation of references, at the core of any evolution, has led us to interact with different cultural disciplines, at times apparently far from our own, allowing us to capture and anticipate the spirit of the times.
