Prada

Prada is an Italian house that has been working since 1913, with a lasting interest in the unconventional and the utilitarian. Its ideas come from art, film and photography, and they show up in structured ready-to-wear and experimental embellishments. The brand describes clothes and accessories as "tools of confident self expression".

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons design the collections, which cover clothing, leather bags and shoes. The Re-Nylon bags are a hallmark, the Re-Edition pieces are worth knowing, and the label is also recognised for its signature prints. You'll find it stocked at Browns and at Dover Street Market London.
