Prada Store

Since 1993, when it was founded by Mario Prada, the company has extended all over the world, in key regions with high buying capacity and fashion oriented businesses. In metropolises like New York, San Francisco, Chicago or Tokyo you have access to Prada store that is commonly known as boutique or megastore. The majority of them are located in the USA (New York, Chicago, Wikiki, Aspen, Las Vegas, Bal Harbour etc).

A Prada store is vastly specialized, providing space of many floors for a wider variety of merchandise. Those located in New York and Beverly Hills carry the status of Epicenters. Besides these major cities, Prada is popular enough to have dozens of other boutiques all over the world. They are highly concentrated in the US but the beginning of the Prada presence in America was marked in 1998. It was then that the first Prada store for menswear was inaugurated in Los Angeles and by the end of the 1990’s a Prada store was available in convenient locations all over Manhattan in New York.

As the company is synonymous with glamour and elegance of high standards, this is also reflected on every Prada store’s architecture that is embedded with luxury and refinement: before walking into a Prada store you feel overwhelmed by the attentive display of every product, worthy of a museum exhibition. At times, it becomes very confusing, that is why there is always someone from the staff available to guide and inform you on each item. For example, the New York Prada store, located in Soho, can become a real maze, making the customers easily puzzled - a consequence to offering a large selection. This store sometimes becomes a stage where fashion and music merge – concert parties are organized, to which celebrities and fashion industry personalities take part. A Prada collection is also available at Barney’s when Soho becomes too crowded, which often does. If you’re interested in more comfortable designer clothes, Prada Sport is at your reach on 57th Street.

The best Prada store is considered to be Fratelli Prada in Milan, which presents full lines of clothes, bags, perfumes, shoes and accessories, including old, classic ones. The house’s unique style is intended to add the touch of intellectualism that is supposed to perfectly match strong, conservative business people. For that matter, the Prada store in Milan is certain to satisfy even the most rigorous customer.

In terms of futuristic design, the Toyo Prada store in the Aoyama area is meant to juggle your imagination. With 7 floors, the building has outside walls made of glass, creating a distorting effect. It has an unusual convex shape that makes it even more surreal in stature. Designed by Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, every detail is custom made.

In contrast to other locations, the London Prada store on Sloane Street has received some poor reviews. It doesn’t offer a wide range and staff professionalism that Prada has accustomed us to.

Overall, entering a Prada store will stimulate every esthetic aspect of a customer’s passion for design.
