Power of One | circle of influence Miuccia Prada

  Miuccia Prada is a fashion designer by profession, but it is also an art curator, film producer, avid feminist architect resulting in inconsistent consumers and unapologetic socialist. Meet the modern woman.

She went dark when I discovered the store in Milan, which belonged to the grandfather of Miuccia Prada. Near the cathedral and in a glass and marble gateway called Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the business is now like a beacon in a little fantasy of modern Italian style and wealth. Outside, there could be a industrial decline and migration, but here are the lights fantastic and the people are drawn there like moths. In the first scene of the classic Visconti film "Rocco and His Brothers" to try the Parondis from the south, a new life in Milan. Enter the tram as it passes through the dark city and all they can see, it is business. "Rocco", one of the brothers, Alain Delon says, "watch shops and lights. It's like daylight."

Mario Prada has the leather. In 1918, his collection includes a bag of lizard with marcasite and one loop of lapis lazuli. The highlight of 1927 was a toad skin wallet and money. When he died, his daughter took over, and finally she brought her youngest daughter, Miuccia smile that was known to the family as Miu Miu. In 1978, she designed a black nylon backpack that would take place later the world by storm. With her husband, Patrizio Bertelli, she has turned the company into a much-admired, eccentric retailer of luxury in a contemporary design powerhouse with sales of more than $ 5 billion. The famous brand Prada, the women's clothing and men's clothing contains much copied - "The job is something interesting to do with ideas," said Miuccia, "and when I copied a damn" - and the group includes other brands like Miu Miu and Church English Shoe Company.

Ms. Prada, as it is called, is about 5 feet 4 inches, usually gives little away, but when I met her, I find a little willing to put their puzzle to open it. Some designers look for trends, but Prada is in fact the trend, season after season, so that other spiders on the heels as she spreads her unique vision of what can be a woman. People do not stop to say, "What does she look" And the secret is in the way connects with the spirit of the age to be found: it is a remarkable capitalist philosopher with a brilliant flair for the modern desire. She is a designer is not afraid to get their hands on what people get people asking strange questions, then again with very elegant answers.

"Fashion is about how we made every day," wrote Ms. Prada said. It was in my head when I met at its headquarters in Via Bergamo. The rain was falling heavily when Prada came in a dark blue Audi and quickly rushed in a gray building. She was charming from the moment we sat down and filled, you might say, with the simple faith of laughter, the joy of certainty. But Prada like to live in contradictions. This may be the thing that makes it capable of creating, threatening, interesting work to be: In her heart she is also afraid of failure and success.

"When I began the worst kind and location was to be when you were a feminist left., It was terrible. I had an injury, yes, I've always had a problem with it," she said. "I think I .. felt not to do something even more important, more political guilty in a sense, I am now with these other activities, "later adding," I'm not interested in the figure, and I'm not in a position to this complicated ..

I'm working on the images of women that I want to analyze. I'm not really interested in clothes and style. "

Appear Miuccia Prada Miu Miu is not in Milan: War Of The Worlds Fashion

  Giorgio Armani has led the charge for the Italian brand back to its roots and start hosting shows only in Milan, but Miu Miu is persistently to the beat of their drummer, a French drummer to be going exactly.

According to Vogue, news, fashion leaders Juggernauts Italy to Milan to work as a fashion capital to restore, which means the rejuvenation of the Milan Fashion Week.

However, the Italian brand Miu Miu will continue to show during Paris Fashion Week, where he has a presence since 2006. Prada Group CEO Patrizio Bert says it's a matter of timing as Prada in Milan, making it "physically impossible to create two shows every few days." He insisted to New Vogue, feelings are also of the designer Miuccia Prada, as she says, "if it's a week later [Miu Miu show] gives another show.": "This is the way we work, is impossible. nobody does. "

MFAH partner of Louis Vuitton on a series of lectures

  American sculptor Jeff Koons drew an overflow crowd Brown Auditorium recently for the launch of the Museum of Fine Arts, "talks with the director of" Houston under the direction of Gary Tinterow series.

Koons was a natural choice. His work inspired the consumer culture has become so iconic that it's almost ironic, after 30 years. It is one of the many artists whose work is displayed in shops Louis Vuitton series presenter. It is deeply rooted in the history of art, and to see several paintings from his personal collection were in the "black and white Picasso" exhibition, including painting at the end of the beautiful time "The Kiss".

But how to explain the next guest on the calendar? Dr. Ruth Westheimer joined Tinterow for an interview on 4th June. Yes, this is Dr. Ruth - little powerhouse sexologists and media star. It is in the museum on his 85th Birthday are displayed.

"I sent invitations to all kinds of people, and we are planning when we can," Tinterow said. Of art that have contributed contemporary culture and something interesting to say at the hearing of the museum's almost all major world, he added.

And how is Dr. Ruth a remarkable world of art?

Tinterow had a quick answer. One of his books, published 20 years ago, "The Art of excitement: A Celebration of Erotic Art throughout history" (Abbeville Press, 180 pages, $ 23.50).

The book examines 100 major works of art from antiquity to the present. "You will not speak as an art historian, but as a sociologist," Tinterow said. "This is someone who brings new perspectives to art."

Tinterow, contributed images in his former curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "art speak" for the book. "I know for at least 25 years. If you live in New York, it's hard not to know Dr. Ruth," he added.

Expect to see what other surprises Tinterow is based on the extensive network, he threw during his many years with the Met "I like to mix things up and to advise the people," he said.

The partnership with the Museum Louis Vuitton thrives when traders based in Paris, has its Houston store expanded last year, but Tinterow relationship with the company began at the Met, where he befriends Valerie Chapoulaud-Floquet, president and CEO of Louis Vuitton North America. "I see it in August," he said. "It was just a confluence of coincidence."

The mix is ​​an issue with all events around Steps Museum Tinterow said. "What we do is not very different from what our colleagues do in other museums."

All museums want to attract new audiences. This is why food trucks now appear daily in the parking lot of the museum. And the parties "Mixed Media" that add to the seductions of music and drinks, attracts hordes 1500-2000 different people.

"We have a loyal following of 200 to 300 for our Saturday Lectures by art historians, but we wanted to say," Tinterow said. "It is exciting to see. People want a good thing, but they also want the art in their lives."

Louis Vuitton lose luster luxury

  As the old song is Louie, Louie, oh baby, come and brands go.

It's not quite as bad for Louis Vuitton, but the French provider of chic handbags, shoes, jewelry and other fashion items loses some of its luster.

While LV remains the world's number one luxury brand Prada and Gucci are strongly on the rise, according to a new report from the global brand by Millward Brown, as reported by Bloomberg.

Vuitton, part of LVMH peddling other pretentious stuff like Moet & Chandon champagne, Dior perfumes and watches TAGHeurer, now worth a mere 22700000000 U.S. dollars mark. This is a decline of 12 percent - bagloads for this kind of thing - a year ago. He managed to before the number two Hermes, which has remained stable to stay with a brand value of $ 19,100,000,000th

But snobs fashion in the world are increasingly adorn themselves with Gucci and Prada goods. Gucci jumped 48 percent to $ 12.7 billion, won three number one, while Prada jumped 63 percent to a brand value of $ 9.45 billion, ranking fourth.

It seems that rivals Vuitton "better manage the balance between exclusivity and affordability," Bloomberg writes, citing the report another factor.:

    "Prada brand awareness in China, Russia, Brazil and the Middle East continue to grow," Anastasia Kourovskaia, Vice President EMEA Millward Brown said.

The ranking was part of the wider range of global Millward Brown BrandZ ranking called Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brand. Apple has followed all of $ 185 billion, Google, IBM, McDonald's and Coca-Cola, crowned in that order.

Luis 29 Place overall, just ahead of Samsung, which rose 51 percent brand value of $ 21.4 billion Vuitton. Facebook has 31 to 36 percent fall in the value of $ 21.2 billion collected (click here for full rankings game).

Rolex, Chanel, Cartier, Burberry, Fendi and Coach completed the top 10 luxury companies. For some reason, Wal-Mart does not have the luxury section (even if they finished a solid 18th among all brands in the world at $ 36.2 billion). I think I will still buy my dress socks are.

Although the Italian luxury brand has won the first court decision in New York for $ 4.7 million on a diamond-G logo that resembled nothing so much as a model Gucci, can guess the last word - for the moment at least.

In a surprising decision of the Italian court, three of the hallmarks of Gucci in Milan were filed on the basis of a counterclaim of Guess in 2009, it was canceled.

This means that the diamond pattern Gucci G logo and "Flora" pattern marks were canceled so that the models open for anyone to use a G logo in one of these signature schemes.

It seems a little extreme for a court to completely cancel three signature models, which has been used for years the brand. Moreover, the decision feels like sabotage a brand name like Gucci, have the models with the quality of their products.
