Prada is synonymous with a style that has often anticipated and dictated future aesthetic trends, not only in fashion.
Innovative spirit, curiosity and strong artisan tradition are the tangible signs of the value that pervades the entire manufacturing process, from ideation to retail distribution.
Fall-Winter 2012-2013 Collections
Prada Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Women’s Eyewear collection expresses luxury and sensuality within a futuristic setting, where the evocation of geometric space is immediately evident.
The shapes are compact in size and inspired by early 20th century styles, evolving into cat’s eye lines embellished by colored stones.
Playing with combinations of materials, the collection presents acetate and metal merging into sophisticated structures, where the role of key elements is played by curved or straight upper bars. The resulting creations are invariably expressions of refined femininity.
In the color palette, tortoiseshell takes on a rosy shade and becomes marbled for an
unusual effect, completing the range of classic light, medium, dark, matte and polished
versions.
Prada Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Men’s Eyewear collection is inspired by the ideas of
power and vanity. Within a stage setting, the characters perform a parody of power with
exaggerated poses and conspiratorial glances.
The final result is a new expressive code; the images that it generates define the style of
the modern gentleman.
Round shapes dominate the Prada Men’s Eyewear collection. The metal or acetate
frames are designed in a sleek, consistently original style that expresses the strong
character of the models.
For an additional innovative touch, the choice of colors like streaked caramel or horn streaked blue confirms the brand’s commitment to research aimed at achieving constant improvement in each and every aspect of quality.
