Prada Worth A Few Billion Less Than We Initially Thought
Prada might not be as valuable as everyone actually thought it was — but don’t worry, it’s still a multi-billion dollar company.
Why Is Tobey Maguire The New Face Of Prada Menswear?
Picking celebrities for fashion ad campaigns isn’t the most difficult task in the world, but we think the people at Prada might have gotten a little too caught up in all their IPO wheeling and dealing to really focus on their fall menswear ads. And we say that because they picked actor Tobey Maguire to star in them.
Guess How Much Money Miuccia Prada Made Last Year?
You probably could have guessed that Miuccia Prada was a very rich lady, what with people all over the world running around in her stripey clothing and bedecked in her various leathergoods. But if you had to guess how many millions she makes in a year, what would you say? Five million? Ten? If you guessed that low, you’d be wrong.
Prada Estimated To Be Worth $15 Billion
While Prada plans its initial public offering, the banks helping the Italian fashion company get ready to go public are trying to figure out just how much it’s worth. At least two of them estimate the company, in its entirety, is worth €11 billion, which is about $15 billion at current exchange.
14-Year-Old Hailee Steinfeld Is The New Face Of Miu Miu
Hailee Steinfeld is one of the coolest 14-year-olds we (don’t actually) know. Not only does she have ridiculous acting chops, she’s also become an A-list celebrity with seriously enviable style. Miuccia Prada certainly agrees, as she’s just named Steinfeld the new face of Miu Miu.
Would You Ever Wear This Simpsons-Esque Boot By Prada?
Prada is really cornering the market on creepy shoes this season. Earlier, the New York Post revealed there was a waitlist for their $795 ’70s-inspired creeper shoe, and then less than one day later, Refinery29 discovered an equally hideous knock-off version selling for the not-quite-bargain price of $100. And now ShoeLust has unearthed a side angle view of the trompe l’oeil booties Miuccia walked down the runway of her Fall 2011 collection and, well, they look as though they were designed by Matt Groening.
Miuccia Prada Reads Blogs On Paper, Has Political Aspirations
This weekend Miuccia Prada showed off her much-lauded spring/summer 2011 collection in a one-off show in Beijing. Miuccia adapted the collection for the Chinese market, swapping cotton for silk and adorning the signature striped pieces in sequins. Of course, the show was also an opportunity for Miuccia to sit down with WWD and dish on globalization, political aspirations and the internet.
Joan Rivers: Prada Hates America, Is Still Angry About WWII
Interviewing Joan Rivers may well be every fashion blogger’s dream — no matter what you ask her, you know you’re going to get something awesome. Which is why The Cut’s interview with Joan and her daughter Melissa is both wide ranging and hilarious — the pair opine on everything from Prada, to Kate Middleton, to why hosting a weekly Fashion Police show is so much better than being stuck on the red carpet.
What Google Ngrams Reveal About Chanel, Couture & Cartier
Are you in the safety of your own home? Do you have hours to devote to a new obsession? Do you like books and words and fashion and words in books about fashion and/or fashion words in books? Because we sure do. And Google Ngram lets us analyze said fashion book words. Which is awesome.
Prada Goes Global For Its Amazing ‘Made In’ Collections
Miuccia Prada can basically do no wrong (see: spring/summer 2011, et al), and we’re obsessed with her latest project. Called “Made in…”, the concept involves four speciality collections of amazing handmade goods from around the world. Japan, Scotland, India and Peru are the locales of choice — providing denim, tartan, chikan and alpaca, respectively.
Prada Considers Selling Shares To Pay Off $1.4 Billion Debt
Prada, the brand that successfully brought baroque minimalism to Milan’s runway last month, is carrying $1.4 billion in debt. And if you’re not a member of the Walton family or a medium size country in South America, that’s a whole lotta Italian calfskin handbags.
PHOTOS: 3 Years Post-Prada, Salma Hayek Wears A Turban
When we think turbans, we think Prada. (We also think Sultan from Aladdin, but that’s besides the point.) When models paraded down Prada’s spring/summer 2007 runway in the Eastern-inspired headgear, they set off a virtual turban flurry that then quickly subsided. But alas! The turban is back in action!
Flash Fashion: Prada Goes Bananas For Stripes And Solids
With her Spring 2011 collection, Miuccia Prada may have redefined the idea of minimalism. Made entirely out of Japanese cottons and cut in simple, if boxy, shapes, Prada’s spring line featured no shortage of Breton-inspired stripes, bright solids, and, well, bananas.
Prada Sues Employee Who Sued Them For Discrimination
Rina Bovrisse used to manage the Prada store in Tokyo. She claims she was sexually harassed and told she needed to lose weight. She complained and was fired, so naturally, she sued the company. Today, Prada decided to sue her for defamation.
THE ZOE REPORT: Secure Your Style
There is nothing quite like a midsummer accessory pick-me-up to boost your wardrobe (and spirits!) from now through fall. Since we are prone to setting our sights first on footwear and jewelry, it can be easy to forget about other stylish outfit add-ons, like belts. To remind you all of just how ba-na-nas a belt can be, I picked out this wide leather cincher from Prada for today. D.I.E.
Meet Yu-Ming: The Man With 900 Shoes
Encountering a male sneaker enthusiast with more pairs of shoes than his female counterpart is an unusual scenario, but most unusual is one who has more shoes than 40 times the average women’s collection combined. Co-founder of Freshnessmag.com and web designer Yu-Ming Wu’s sneaker collection of 800-plus pairs, from brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma, to name a few, was recently revealed in Women’s Wear Daily’s Footwear News.
Charity Event Raises Good Money And Gives Good Bags
It was a sea of pink on Manhattan’s upper east side Thursday evening as three-hundred New York City ladies bid on more than 100 beautiful designer handbags to raise money for women’s cancer prevention. As guests arrived the mood was set as they watched the trailer for the soon to be released (and eagerly awaited) Sex And The City 2. After all, when Carrie Bradshaw makes shopping seem like one of Maslow’s most basic human needs, stylish women in stilettos are sure to follow suit.
Lady Gaga Champions The Tuxedo And Grey Hair At Met Ball
Admit it! The real reason you’ve been trolling through the Met-Gala photo galleries was in the hope that you might catch a passing glimpse of Gaga in all her platinum blonde, pre-performance glory. Well, the lovely folks over at Prada were nice enough to pass along a pic of the Lady herself and leave it to the pop starlet to turn up looking atypically classic when everyone else is trying their best to work the avant-garde.
Robbie Myers: ‘Elle Macpherson Is Not A Skinny Girl’
Elle editor in chief Robbie Myers joined the Today Show’s Ann Curry this morning to talk about “curvy girls” and whether they’re “making a comeback.” While we applaud the Today Show for addressing these issues — they’ve even dedicated a new segment to it: Today’s Women — Myers, unfortunately, did not make the best case for the cause.
Blame It On Suri: Parents Spend Too Much On Kid’s Clothes
Heels, Ferragamo purses, headbands that would make Blaire Waldorf cringe with jealousy: Suri Cruise knows how to dress — and according to a new study done by British department store Debenhams, parents are picking up on Suri’s expensive taste.
