🖤 Miuccia Prada: The Woman Who Changed Fashion ForeverShe once thought of fashion as ridiculous. Then she went on to reinvent it from the inside out.This video takes a deep look at how Miuccia Prada transformed a quiet, conservative family business into one of the most intellectually daring and influential fashion houses in the world. From the invention of “ugly chic” to the radical use of nylon, from feminism on the runway to high-level business strategy, Miuccia didn’t just modernize fashion—she redefined what it could say and do.We explore her unique background in political science and the arts, and how that critical distance gave her the tools to question the very foundations of luxury. Prada’s rise wasn’t about opulence—it was about intelligence, subtlety, and purpose. With Miu Miu, she revealed a more instinctual side of her creative personality, offering a rawer, rebellious counterpoint to Prada’s restraint. Her quiet authority in a male-dominated industry reshaped what leadership could look like in fashion, and her influence on designers like Phoebe Philo, Jonathan Anderson, Demna, and Raf Simons is still unfolding today.Innovation has been central to her legacy—from the Re-Nylon project and sustainable practices to Prada’s adoption of blockchain for transparency and authentication. And her strategic acquisition of Versace reflects a bigger vision: building a future-forward fashion group that values diversity in both aesthetics and ideas. This isn't just fashion history. It’s a study in taste, control, and cultural transformation.📺 Watch our full Miu Miu deep dive on Youtube.
