| Prada Menswear Spring/Summer 2008 |
Nick Snider, Julian Hennig, Felix Schopgens, Thomas Wyatt and James Cooper are testimonials of the Prada's Spring Summer 2008 Menswear Ad campaign shots by Steven Meisel.
Shawl collars, knit trousers, signature sandals, drawstring pants, tights, jumpsuits, floral all over prints. A surprisingly dark color palette dominated with Miuccia Prada dismissing the color trend and doing as she pleases.
Suits were single breasted, 1-button and with interesting details like shawl collars. Knits were the fabrics of choice for tops and bottoms, suits and separates.
Trousers were made of knit and snug to the body.
Prada was also having a love affair with prints. Striped prints, floral prints, if it was a print it seems like it was incorporated. Jackets were of a uniform pattern hitting mid-thigh.
Mario Prada founded Prada Company, originally known in Italian as Fratelli Prada, in 1913. In 1978, Mario's granddaughter Miuccia Prada inherited what was still a leather goods business from her mother, and led the company's expansion into couture.
Miuccia Prada designed Prada's first prêt-à-porter in the autumn/winter season of 1989.
Like the current Gucci and Christian Dior groups, Prada held, for a time, a portfolio of designer labels under its corporate umbrella.
Following the lead of other companies in a popular trend to absorb as many other fashion houses as possible, Prada took on large debts when it acquired the financially floundering Rome-based house of Fendi in the early 1990s.
Prada handbags and accessories are frequently counterfeited due to their standing as a status symbol. Their relatively simple design makes counterfeiting easy, and buyers may have difficulty discerning between authentic bags and fakes. |
