Before launching her namesake label, Miuccia Prada studied political science. She broke away from academics and into the arts by training as a mime, but soon, her family’s luxury leather goods business called to her. From there, her fashion acumen began its storied rise to fame. After updating the family line with her designs, Prada moved into apparel, showing her debut collection in 1988. Miu Miu was launched in 1993, and soon, Prada skyrocketed to global fame. Today, the label is loved as a champion of true art and producer of some of today’s most unique, exquisite fashions.
