'UGLY CHIC' - THE PRADA STORY
Miuccia Prada is regarded as one of the most influential and enigmatic fashion designers of modern times. For nearly four decades she has displayed her penchant for setting trends and bucking the ideas of her fellow designers, the now 71-year-old together with her CEO partner Patrizio Bertelli has transformed was essentially a small family business into one of the world’s most renowned multi billion dollar fashion houses.
Miuccia Prada is a true iconoclast, and one who never ducked a challenge, under her auteur like direction Prada has blended the old and the new, the ugly and the sublime, the vulgar and the simple, to show off a smorgasbord of original and often unexpected ideas. No two collections have ever looked even vaguely the same, and it’s obvious to any fashionista watching that each well thought-out garment detail has come from one great mind. And the irony of the Prada renaissance under Muiccia started in 1985 with a choice of an unassuming fabric for her bags. Miuccia could have followed the likes of Louis Vuitton by brandishing a leather design with multiple gaudy logos, but instead, Prada went in a completely unheard of direction: choosing a fabric and feel that screamed function rather than fashion.
Pocone-a military-grade nylon that was used by Prada’s grandfather to cover trunks- was the key to Miuccia Prada’s success. It was the last thing that should have worked for a designer handbag, but work it did. Starting with a series of waterproof backpacks, Prada eventually moved onto totes, backpacks and more all including a small black triangle bearing the Prada logo.
Within months, the Pocone bags and backpacks were a global phenomenon, collected, worn and lusted over by the fashion cognoscenti the world over .
The Pocone nylon backpacks were unlike anything else on the market: minimalistic, clean and simple, with the appeal of functionality. The “Vela” bags were born out of Prada’s disdain for the bags of other luxury competitors, which she deemed too formal and traditional. The selling point was the material: industrial nylon, which Prada sourced from factories producing the light-weight, waterproof fabric for military parachutes. What resulted was a complete transformation of what it meant to produce luxury goods - Prada managed to create the most sought-after designer bag, using perhaps the least luxurious material. The nylon bags were a symbol of modernity - it allowed luxury to be subversive and go beyond the superficial. Luxury goods were no longer just a stuffy status symbol, they were also modern and signifiers of a new kind of thinking style setter.

I love Prada style. My favorite shoes for style, comfort, and fit are my Pradas.
Just a note here. The logo of Vuitton is not printed on leather but resin cloth with only the trims in leather. Basically a 'plastic' bag with 5% real leather.

Thank you yes! I learned this in a class and was like I’m not paying that much for LV!
I like their online separate pieces and some of the newer collections, but most of the previous couture runway designs are not what I would personally wear. I do realize fashion tastes vary from person to person. This was a very interesting video.
Ok but why do they keep mentioning "normal people", "daily life", "average people"... how many people wear prada in their daily life xD wtf

Prada was my favorite 15 years ago. (I think from a fashion advertisement. End 2021 saw a small evening bag - see thru, clear some black trim or handles. (assume was the synthetic?) GORGEOUS! Unpretentious, medium petite. Love “ugly chic. Love from SF Bay Area 💕🧘🏾♂️
i have prada wedges wore them for 1 month all over italy, and they're brand new, i wore urban planet wedges for 1 month walking to and from work, and the heel came off, sometimes the extra dollars are 100 percent worth it, quality vs quantity
Such an interesting video about Prada. I never understood ugly chic but now I do. I think her fashion ideas still work well. I'm sure if I owned Prada clothing I would never get rid of it.
She is a great intellect

Her real name is Maria Bianchi ( the last name Prada is on the mother’s side, and we Italians don’t get the mother’s last name) the not cool at all name Maria probably when she was little it was made into Mariuccia for lots of girls very common in Italy , from the ugly Mariuccia probably she made Miuccia . This is Italy, try to make beauty from everything, only her stayed ugly all her life.

Ahhh... finally someone who cares about the foreign designers' names correct pronunciation! I salute you! One would think that the presenter should be "in the know", but :-( ... Each time I hear Ver-sa-tchee I cringe, they pronounce correctly though Dolce's name (with an "e" like in "met", not " Dol-tchee") then why "tchee" for Verace?? Just for the record too...
Her name is spoken mee'hù''tchia 😊
You may want to check the text dates that are on the video with the narrator’s words because they are conflicting.

Hi :) The song is called "Tutte le mamme", by Giorgio Consolini and Gino Latilla. It also won the Sanremo Festival in 1954 (a very famous music festival in Italy). It's a very beautiful song about the mother-son bond (the refrain says "son tutte belle le mamme del mondo", that translated means "all moms in the world are beautiful") . Hope this was helpful

Prada IS the definition of ugly. I cannot think of ONE thing they design that I would wear--even if something were given to me. Nothing.
I’ll take Alexander McQueen any day over this.
Wanted to watch the video but as an Italian couldn't go past the third minute of mispronouncing terribly her first name. It's not Moo-chia pls!

Raf Simons claim’ that the new should comes from the new generations is perhaps the most nonsensical thing I’ve heard today. That’s discriminating, unstructured and it grooms kids into accepting the commodification of fantasy. So why did he put a picture of Christiane F on some of his garments? Coz it’s cool to play with the dragon 💉🩸
