Prada Dresses Section:
In 1950 Miuccia Prada was born. By her mid-20's she had a doctorate in political science. In 1970 she started making backpack bags out of waterproof fabric called Pocone and in 1979 she took over the Prada family business.
Since sales were down, she expanded into luxury tote bags and backpacks in black with flat classic lines, made from nylon.
In 1985 she launched a line of footwear for women and her first pret-a-porter clothing line, using high quality fabrics. Her clean lines gave her fame, and she came to be known for under-stated elegant garments.
