Prada’s Numero Uno

Thank you so much Mama Miuccia!

I received a lovely package this afternoon from Prada in Milan. Guess who’s number 1?

Or better yet, can you guess what’s inside?

Prada Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Womenswear Show

I'm here at the Air France lounge at JFK airport in New York City. I'm off to Milano!

I'm very excited and grateful to be invited to my first-ever Prada show.

For those of you who aren't in Milan, you may watch the fashion show live, online, tomorrow, Thursday night, Italian time.

Log on to Prada.com.

See you at the show!

Prada Menswear Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Fashion Show Video

Behold the first-ever Prada (menswear fall 2010) fashion show live-streamed online. Here’s the recorded version.

Spectacular. Beautiful, beautiful clothes!

In other news, be sure to subscribe — or visit — Prada’s YouTube channel. They’ve been uploading quite a number of videos in the past few hours. Amazing.

From the looks of it, Mama Miuccia & Co. are going full throttle on social media and on the internet. I guess we’ll see how they’ll fare against other designers in the next weeks or months to come.

Enjoy the show!

Prada Fall 2010/2011 Menswear Show Live Online!

Miuccia Prada will broadcast her fall 2010/2011 menswear fashion show online, this Sunday. Save the date and go to Prada.com to watch it.

This is a major move for the house — a Prada first!

As you know, Prada is one of the very last major fashion houses to establish a digital presence.

I remember how, for the longest time, all they had on their website was their logo against a navy blue and yellow background.

Several years later, they're now showing online?

Prada is one of the late adopters though. Dolce & Gabbana pioneered this many, many years ago.

It's fascinating how more and more designers are streaming their shows direct to the consumer thanks to the internet. 

Amazing, no?

Prada Resort 2010 Ostrich Handbags

The Resort collections are pouring in… I love these Prada ostrich satchels.

The yellow one looks gorgeous, no? Oooh the colours!

Miuccia Prada on CNN TalkAsia

Miuccia Prada recently went to Seoul to bring her “Waist Down” skirt exhibition and CNN’s Anjali Rao interviewed her for TalkAsia. My favourite quote? “I don’t like things that are obvious and so I always try to introduce something that is wrong, something that is different. Just
beauty by itself is too easy.”

Like what I said a few weeks ago, I’m totally loving CNN. It’s great they’re featuring more and more figures from the fashion world. I’m glad they had the opportunity to interview Miuccia. She’s very intelligent, very clever and very smart. I love how she handled herself when she was asked with a tough question about their acquisition phase (Alaia, Jil Sander, Helmut Lang). I thought she answered very well.
