Prada Group
Miuccia Prada is Executive Director of the Company as well as Prada Co-Creative Director along with Raf Simons and Miu Miu Creative Director. She served as Chairperson of the Board from 2003 to 2014 and later on as Co-Chief Executive Officer, along her husband Patrizio Bertelli, until 26th January 2023.
After obtaining a degree in Political Science from Milan University, Miuccia Prada began designing for the exclusive family business, founded by her grandfather in 1913. At the end of the ‘70s she formed a partnership with Patrizio Bertelli, an entrepreneur and owner of two high quality leather goods companies at the time. The combination of the two minds made it possible for Prada to become one of the leading luxury companies worldwide.
Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli’s passion for art led them to create Fondazione Prada, an institution championing contemporary culture through its innovative and experimental programmes.
Miuccia Prada has received several awards for her original vision, innovation, and contribution to international fashion. In 2000, she received an Honorary Doctorate from the Royal College of Art in London. In 2006, Ms. Prada was named Officier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. In 2015, she was granted the title of Knight of the Grand Cross, the highest Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, in recognition of her international success and contribution on behalf of Italy to the fields of creativity, fashion and style.
