It’s a new year but this series continues. How could it end? I absolutely love it and always learn so much, and I know you do too. So new year, new brand. Haha, I just got a new slogan. And how much do you like Prada? Yes, today we are going to talk about this brand founded 103 years ago (so long!). But moving on with the blah, blah, blah…
Prada was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, in Milan, Italy, and in the beginning, the brand sold leather goods and imported English handbags. Mario Prada did not believe that women should have a role in business, but due to the lack of interest of his son in the company, was his daughter, Luisa Prada, who took the lead of the company. Luisa’s daughter, Miuccia Prada joined the company in 1970 and took over for her mother in 1978. Patrizio Bertelli (an Italian that had his own leather goods business), joined the company as business manager, which allowed Miuccia to implement her creativity in the designs. In 1983, Prada opened a second store in Milan’s shopping heart, as well as in Florence, Madrid, Paris and New York City. In 1985 Miuccia Prada released the “classic Prada handbag” and, in 1989, Prada launched the first women’s ready to wear collection. At the year of 1997, the brand acquired shares in the Gucci group and, later, Bertelli accused Gucci of imitate their designs. To help paying the debts of over $850 million, Prada planned on listing 30% of the company on the Milan Stock Exchange, in 2001. In 2005, Prada made a permanently installed sculpture, 1.4 miles northwest of Valentine, Texas, and about 26 miles northwest of the city of Marfa. The name of the art piece is titled “Prada Marfa” and it resembles a Prada store.
And this was today’s lesson, now I’ll let you enjoy all the pictures.
É um novo ano, mas estes artigos continuam, como é que podiam acabar? Eu adoro-os e aprendo sempre tanto, e eu sei que vocês também. Portanto, ano novo, marca nova. Haha, acabei de arranjar um novo slogan. E o quanto adoram a Prada? Sim, hoje vamos falar desta marca que foi fundada há 103 anos atrás (tanto tempo!). Mas avançando com o blá, blá, blá…
A Prada foi fundada em 1913 por Mario Prada, em Milão, Itália e, no início, a marca vendia artigos de pele e importava malas de Inglaterra. Maria Prada não acreditava que as mulheres deviam ter um papel nos negócios, mas o seu filho não tinha interesse na empresa, por isso, foi a sua filha, Luísa Prada que ficou encarregue dos negócios da família. Miuccia Prada, filha de Luísa, juntou-se à empresa em 1970 e assumiu o controlo da marca em 1978. Patrizio Bertelli (um italiano que tinha a sua própria empresa de artigos de pele), juntou-se à empresa como gerente de negócios, o que permitiu a Miuccia implementar a sua criatividade nos designs. Em 1983, a Prada abriu uma nova loja em Milão, assim como em Florença, Madrid, Paris e Nova York. Em 1985, Miuccia lançou a “a mala clássica da Prada” e, em 1989, foi lançada a primeira coleção de pronto a vestir para mulheres. Em 1997, a marca comprou ações no grupo Gucci e, mais tarde, Bertelli acusou a Gucci de imitar os designs da Prada. Para ajudar a pagar as divídas de mais de $850 milhões, a Prada planeou vender 30% da empresa na Bolsa de Valores de Milão em 2001. Em 2005, fez uma instalação permanente, a 1.4 milhas a noroeste de Valentine, Texas, e a cerca de 26 milhas a noroeste da cidade de Marfa. O nome da peça de arte é “Prada Marfa” e representa uma loja da marca.
E esta foi a lição de hoje, agora deixo-vos com as imagens.
Everything is beautiful but I especially love the pink coat! Thanks for sharing!
