Miuccia Prada

Miuccia Bianchi Prada is a millionaire fashion designer and businesswoman from Italy. She is Prada's head designer and the founder of its spinoff Miu Miu. Miuccia Prada, Mario Prada's youngest granddaughter, took over the family-owned luxury goods firm in 1978. Since then, the company has bought Jil Sander, Helmut Lang, and Church & Co., a shoemaker.

Miuccia Prada is the only fashion designer who also happens to be a political activist and has a doctorate in political science. Her unusual upbringing has allowed her to create instinctively while also recognising cultural developments, and her distinctive aptitude has been in considering concerns that influence how we consume clothes.

Miuccia Prada, who has managed the creative component of the company's work for over 40 years, is largely responsible for the brand's success. It all started with her love of clothes, because doing business opposed her beliefs and did not appeal to her. She was always striving to defy beauty and sexuality stereotypes. Miuccia Prada took a position for disagreeing with what everyone else seems to agree on with UGLY CHIC, paving the door for a slew of designers to follow her example and violate conventions of any aesthetic norms and forms in their own unique ways.
