Synopsis

Pradasphere is not about the past; it is a snapshot of a single moment: now. In this comprehensive collection of Prada’s work, Pradasphere illustrates the house’s unique place in contemporary culture and explores the outside forces that shape its vision. From Prada’s origins and the clothing, accessories and films made to the creative input of collaborators and the insights drawn from disciplines such as art, film and architecture, this book shows Prada’s unique vision and wide influence. Pradasphere is more than a collection of Prada ephemera; it’s an exploration of the way Prada uses design to explore ideas about the world. Through clothing, film, architecture, and more, Prada shows that design is about the joy of working and creative exploration and how that spirit finds its way into all that is made.

From the Inside Flap

Founded in 1913, Prada has evolved into a brand with a unique ability to embed thought-provoking, clever ideas in totally pleasurable objects-from shoes and bags to coats, dresses, and skirts, the clothing makes a statement. And Pradasphere-both in its package and content-does the same.

Pradasphere is a collection of archival objects arranged to reveal the complex, often- intertwined obsessions of one of the world's most influential designers. The book takes you on an aesthetic journey that spans the past 30 years. Exclusive photographs of clothing and accessories illustrate Prada's design narrative and show the exquisite craftsmanship and materials behind the creations. Pradasphere also explores Prada's culture, including advertising photography, architecture, and commissioned films by directors such as Wes Anderson and Ridley Scott.
