Prada both chronicles and epitomizes the achievements of one of the world's most influential and enlightened fashion and design companies.

Format:Hardcover
This book is beautiful. From opening the box and removing the book from its Prada case it oozes quality. The book isn't just visuals with written details about the production, designs and each aspect of Prada from initial ideas through to point of sale. Very heavy but quite a book to treasure with good information.
