Miuccia Prada

I have to say that my husband and my children are so tough, there really is no space for pretension.

Basically I'm trying to make men more sensitive and women stronger.

For me, art is about learning and about living with people. It's alive.

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.

My learning process is by eye alone; it's not at all scientific.

I hate the idea that you shouldn't wear something just because you're a certain age.
