The collection was so resonant, so bittersweet, echoing hope and dread equally, keen to endorse love and beauty as universal values, simultaneously aware that love and beauty aren’t enough when the grinding gears of history are reducing human beings to nothing. It was a bold, provocative proposition, and the duo showed clothes to match. Prada and Simons broke history into fragments which they then reconfigured in artful ways.
Quote of the Month

n°100 - 19 January 2024
Office attire is not often associated with outdoors gear, aside from a trusty anorak worn over a suit for the commute. Yet Prada’s autumn/winter menswear collection, shown in Milan yesterday, pitched them together. Prada has made a point of presenting everyday luxury of late and where it goes, other brands follow.
n°98 - 15 November 2023
Our strategy delivered solid growth in the first nine months of 2023, including in the third quarter. The Group continued to consolidate its brands’ desirability and accelerated investments as planned.
In the third quarter, Prada remained on a sound growth trajectory and Miu Miu delivered again a strong performance. We continue to see positive momentum in the business and around our brands, positioning us well for Q4.
n°97 - 11 October 2023
The Miu Miu brand — not to mention Mrs. Prada’s whole aesthetic — has quietly become one of the most influential in fashion.
n°96 - 26 September 2023
It’s not that a designer needs to reject history entirely […] But it needs to be remixed rather than reproduced, so that suddenly the familiar looks entirely different. That’s how progress happens. That’s what Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons do so brilliantly at Prada, and what they did again this season.
n°95 - 12 September 2023
Cinema has been a longtime passion and has also been an important backbone of my education. With the Tales we created a platform for talented directors: through their gaze we have opened a conversation on the world of femininity and vanity and what it means today. A conversation with women about women.
n°94 - 02 August 2023
Our brands retain vast growth potential; our strategy is clear, and our reinforced organisation is well equipped to execute.
n°91 - 25 May 2023
Prada Group has had a positive start to the year. Over the course of the first quarter, China returned to be an engine of growth, driving a solid sales rebound in Asia Pacific. Our priority for the year remains increasing store productivity, focusing on retail execution. Meanwhile, we will continue to invest behind our brands, our stores, and our infrastructure for the growth of tomorrow. The ever-evolving macro and market backdrop requires us to be vigilant, but we see benefits in accelerating these investments, if conditions remain supportive.
n°90 - 24 April 2023
We will keep investing in training and education programs, that will help us to protect and value diversity and inclusion over the long term, build an open dialogue and gather different perspectives directly from people on diversity, equity and inclusion.
