The last of many amazing women that we want to highlight is Miuccia Prada. Miuccia is the head designer at Prada and the creative director of its subsidiary “Miu Miu”. Miuccia has been in the big leagues of fashion since 1978 she took over the company from her grandfather, Mario Prada. She completely redesigned the company from their original designs to the sleek, nylon heavy ones that we know so well today. Since becoming head designer, Miuccia “has always blazed her own trail and demonstrated a fearlessness in trying new styles.” She is making great strides for women in the industry, especially when it comes to women in such high roles within iconic fashion houses, and I’m curious to see how this continues to impact the ratio of men to women in top design and CEO roles.
