Italian fashion house, Prada can be recognized by their signature “PRADA MILANO Made in Italy” markings. However this is insignia has changed with their recent capsule collections. The luxury brand is partnering with artisans from other countries to present innovative designs crafted in other parts of the globe. With strict enforcements being put on garments using the “Made in Italy” tag; Prada is taking a different stand by outsourcing and embracing international work.

The idea to embrace artists in different cultures was something instilled to Miuccia Prada by her grandfather, Mario Prada, who traveled the world searching for inspiration. According to the company, “This spirit of the curious connoisseur remains at the heart of Prada, especially in the age of globalization, where geographic and cultural borders disappear. Remaining faithful to these ideals, the company continues to identify those specialized craftspeople that represent an unrivaled standard of excellence. Using Mario Prada�s time-honed strategy, Prada collaborates with these exquisite artisans to produce modern, innovative designs utilizing the traditional craftsmanship, materials, and manufacturing techniques of a specific region.”
