Prada is a family owned company, begun by Mario and Martino Prada and now led by Mario's granddaughter Miuccia Prada. Originally selling leathergoods in Milan, Miuccia Prada developed and expanded the business internationally. The originality of her designs, their lack of pretentiousness and understated luxury, have made Prada a global success. She has stated: “I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.”. Miuccia holds a Ph.D. in political science, is a feminist, and was named the 75th most powerful woman in the world in 2014 (Forbes). In 2012, her work was exhibited alongside Elsa Schiaparelli’s, in Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
