Prada, SpA is an Italian fashion company (also known as a "label" or "house") with retail outlets worldwide.
The company, originally known in Italian as Fratelli Prada ("Prada Brothers"), was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada. In 1978, Mario's granddaughter Miuccia Prada inherited what was still a leather goods business from her mother, and led the company's expansion into couture.
Prada's first prêt-à-porter, or "ready-to-wear" collection was designed by Miuccia Prada in the autumn/winter season of 1989.
In addition to the original Prada line, the company introduced the Miu Miu collection, a lower-priced line aimed at a younger audience, in 1992. The Miu Miu line, which shares Miuccia Prada's nickname, emphasizes earthy colors and a less haute couture look, evoking an overall more bohemian style. In its advertising campaigns, waif-like models in "home photo" poses further the look. Miu Miu clothing is often simple, and evokes a continual image of high-end vintage items. It was followed by the Prada Sport collection, which featured tennis shoes.
Prada won a Council of Fashion Designers of America International Award for accessories in 1993.

Prada is the name of a design company that has held a number of excellent fashion labels (line of clothing/ accessories/ etc.). It is a very expensive, famous, and old, although the company now has less influence than before after having to sell off some of its more well known labels.

Prada is a VERY pricey clothing and accessory designer. In the movie, one of the bags...I think it is baby blue...distinctly says "Prada " on the side. LOVED the movie! Anne Hathaway is at her best!

Prada is an extremely expensive fashion line; the philosophy behind it seems to be "get people to spend LOTS of money to wear something black."
