Along with the rest of the world, we would like to wish Miuccia Prada a very happy birthday! Since taking the reigns of the family business in 1978 (which was started in Milan by her grandfather in 1913), Miuccia has brought us boundless amounts of glamour in the form of oversized paillettes, retro color blocking, golden brocades and a myriad of startlingly beautiful ready-to-wear and accessories.
To mark this special day, we bring you a few of our favorite Prada runway moments that have captured our hearts and inspired us to push the envelope when it comes to the rules of fashion. Miuccia, thanks for being a genius and bringing so much sparkle to the world!
