Today’s company for the fashion brand

Prada boutiques and megastore

The Prada boutique at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy.Prada has commissioned architects, most notably Rem Koolhaas and Herzog & de Meuron, to design flagship stores in various locations. A duplex megastore will be opened in Kuala Lumpur this year. Prada has also commissioned an unusual multi-purpose building called the Prada Transformer in Seoul.

Prada, along with fellow fashion houses Calvin Klein and Gucci, is known for its practice of casting new models to walk exclusively in their runway shows. Usually, one of the models chosen as an exclusive will be selected to open the Prada show. An exclusive or opening spot in a Prada show is among the most coveted bookings in the modeling world, since it usually leads to greater success in future seasons, as well as in the campaign/editorial field. Previous Prada exclusives and openers who have gone on to enjoy success in the fashion world include Daria Werbowy, Gemma Ward, Suvi Koponen and Sasha Pivovarova, who went on to appear in Prada’s ad campaigns for six consecutive seasons after opening the Prada Fall 2005 runway show.
