My favorite designer would have to be Miuccia Prada. Specifically with her brand Miu Miu. I really love this brand because the styles are so creative, young, and almost couture like. But they also are very wear-able. The name ‘Miu Miu’ comes from the designers nick name. It is less expensive than its mother brand, Prada. But it does have meaning to Miuccia Prada. The line was inspired by her personal wardrobe of earthier, hippyish garments in natural fabrics and colors. There are Miu Miu boutiques all over the globe in New York, Paris, Milan, London, Tokyo, Florence, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Kobe, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Singapore; they also have plans for boutiques in Boston and Los Angeles in 2008. Miu Miu’s first menswear shop opened in 1998 in Los Angeles which was also their first boutique in North America. In 2002, Fabio Zambernardi, who joined Prada in 1992, was appointed Design director for Miu Miu and Prada. In 1993 Miuccia won the Council of Fashion Designers of America International Award for the Prada brand. This was in part done by the clean, stylish designs, fine materials, and exquisite craftsmanship put into her Miu Miu line. She now shows Miu Miu and Prada twice a year in Milan.
