After inheriting her family’s leather goods company, Miuccia Prada designed a line of celebrated lightweight backpacks, debuting her women's ready-to-wear collection in 1988. Renowned for her offbeat chic style, Prada revolutionized the fashion industry and transformed the family business into a leading luxury fashion house. In 1993 she launched Miu Miu—named after her childhood nickname—as the main line’s playful sister brand. From playful knitwear and crystal-embellished footwear to leather handbags and cheeky bejeweled accessories, Miu Miu’s unconventional designs are effervescent, demure, sensual, and rebellious.
