“Mrs. Prada is the most revered, most inspirational and probably the most copied designer of her generation,” “She’s bold and she’s not scared to break rules or go into new territory.

She has trained people’s eyes to a new way of dressing, one that is not based on the classic idea of the female form.” - British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful OLIVIA LIU PRADA and MIU MIU The silhouette
