'I make ugly clothes from ugly materials: simply bad taste. But they end up looking good anyway.’ Miucca Prada said.
Miucca Prada has developed a unique style that skillfully mixes intellectual purity and eccentric elegance, futuristic minimalism and multicultural inspiration. Perhaps better than any other designer, she represents the global aesthetic of the 1900s.Visionary,instinctive,curious,and attuned to rapid changes in dress and society, Prada bases her decisions on a number of clear and basic rules. First all, she believes in experimentation---in materials, lines, mixes of influences, and inspirations. Second, she believes in creating fashion for a clientele without using age as a criterion: ‘age is a non-criterion because it would be limiting.’ Third, her design respond to the concept of ‘conscious modernity’ without adhering to any aesthetic preconceptions, and take risks when the mood strikes---as they are the result of imagination and rationality.
According to Miuccia Prada, being in the forefront is not a choice. ‘I follow my instinct; and even if I question whether what I am doing makes perfect sense to me or others, in reality the important thing is that I thoroughly believe in it.’

Miuccia Prada part ii
Miu Miu is the more affordable, less-couture collection she had created to appeal to a larger audience as well as counter balance her more traditional and grown-up taste, as displayed in her Prada collection.
Miucca Prada's vision of the Miu Miu women is continuously redefined. With each chapter becoming yet another facet of a crystalline,complicated feminine ideal.Where an ingrained elegance meets immediacy and lightness.Where independence,improbably meets sensuality,where sophistication meets nonchalance.The very definition of creative
transformation.To complement a woman who is possible to define.

Bjork - All is full of love
This video is about two lesbian robots in love with each other. Achromatic color combination is used. It creates strong impact to our eyes. Though it feels like cold, the emotion it express touches me.

SS 2000
Theme:
This Miu Miu line, aptly entitled "Almost a Lady," was an intelligent play on the discreet charm of the modern—and young—bourgeoisie. Classic prep ensembles were reinvented with '90s shine, attitude and confidence.
>The colors she used was plain, low intensity, like pale pink, to match with brown and black. They can be found from nature so that they appeal to people. Color theories applied: monochromatic color scheme, analogous color combination.
Pantone 698 C, pantone 876 C

Main Colors Used:
Pantone 698 C, pantone 876 CFW 2000
Theme:
It was an eminently wearable, simple and refined collection, centered on sweet, girly dresses—pale-rose chiffon slips, some gathered or bunched--and the season's all-important essential—the perfect jacket. Loose coats with rounded shoulders, ample shiny skirts and fitted tweed suits successfully acknowledged the '40s-inspired elegance present in much of the Fall collections.
>It extends the color combination used in the SS00, like monochromatic, analogous. Achomatic scheme is added. it is still easy to carry and appeal to girls as much pale-rose is used.
Color family:
It is 40s-inspired elegance!
