Miuccia Prada, Fashion designer

Article Abstract:

The Prada name is virtually synonymous with high fashion and understated elegance in certain circles, due in large part to the creative direction of Miuccia Prada. Under Miuccia's leadership, the small leather-goods company founded in 1913 by her grandfather blossomed into an international conglomerate, boasting more than 200 stores around the globe by 2006 and earning billions of dollars each year from sales of its accessories and clothing lines.
