PRADA Prada. The name alone signifies style and luxury, designer handbags, sunglasses and fabulous shoes. Born nearly a century ago, The House of Prada is recognized worldwide for its simple and elegant creations.

Mario Prada started the Prada label in 1913. He designed and sold handbags, shoes, trunks, and suitcases though two boutiques in Milan, and had clients across Europe and the US. When the signature Prada suitcases, made from heavy, cumbersome walrus skin, proved to be ill suited for air travel, Prada concentrated on designing exquisite leather accessories and waterproof handbags.

In 1978, Mario’s granddaughter, Miuccia Prada, took over the company. Miuccia was a former mime who had spent five years studying at Milan’s Teatro Piccolo, and had a PhD in political science. Although her qualifications didn’t seem appropriate, her sense of fashion was unmistakable. The label was still mainly a leather goods manufacturer at that point, and had been struggling financially for several years. Competition from other fashion houses like Gucci had taken its toll. Miuccia turned things around and steered the House of Prada towards the world of haute couture.

About the same time as she took the helm of the Prada label, Miuccia married Patrizio Bertelli. Bertelli took on the role of business manager, allowing Miuccia to focus on designing and perfecting the new Prada look.

Miuccia had been making black waterproof backpacks since 1970, out of a nylon fabric called “Pocone”. She unveiled the classic Prada handbag - simple, sleek, black nylon – in 1985 and became an overnight sensation. The bag was functional and sturdy, practical and fashionable. The high price tag that accompanied the handbags caused an onslaught of designer knock-offs, which only helped to make the genuine Prada articles more in demand.

In the 1980’s, other labels were creating designs that played on sexuality. Frilly, lacy, brightly colored garments that were low cut on top and short on the bottom were popular. Prada hit the runway in 1989 with its prêt-a-porter collection, with elegant, simple pieces featuring clean lines, luxurious fabrics, and basic colors. The fashion world took notice, and Prada’s popularity skyrocketed.

By the 1990’s, Prada was a leading face in fashion. The garments and accessories were smart, sophisticated, and extremely high quality. Luxurious fabrics and simple styles, mostly in blacks, browns, grays, greens, and creams, became the signature Prada look. The apparel was sexy and spoke of confidence without revealing too much skin. Accessories included skinny leather belts, elegant high heeled shoes, and of course, the classic handbag.

In 1992, Miuccia presented the more affordable Miu Miu line, which targeted a younger consumer. More flowing shapes and earthy colors and prints set this collection apart, although the simple designs and classic appearance continued the quality of the Prada label. Soon after, the Prada Sport label was created, followed by a line of men’s wear and a lingerie collection.

The following year, in 1993, Prada received the Council of Fashion Designers of America award for accessories.

The Prada look has certainly evolved over the years, and Miuccia is credited with many innovations in fabric and design. She has added everything from mirror fragments to beaded latex to her garments, and experimented with new and unique fabric blends. Even with all of this experimentation however, the caliber of the finished product has never wavered.

Since then, Prada has gone on to open boutiques in dozens of cities and countries across the globe. Their shoes for men and women have become a staple for fashion enthusiasts and celebrities alike, and those extraordinary handbags are still wildly popular. The distinct silver Prada triangle is a status symbol all over Europe and North America.

American financial newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, has named Miuccia one of the thirty most powerful women in Europe. From fabulous runway shows to gracing the bodies of actresses like Uma Thurman and Cameron Diaz, Miuccia Prada has taken her grandfather’s struggling leather goods business and created a true empire.

FENDI The Double F Symbol
Commonly referred to as the "Zucca" print in its original form and "Zucchino" in its smaller style, Fendi's iconic "double F" logo pattern was first designed by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1960s. It has been used on a variety of Fendi products, including handbags, wallets, luggage, shoes, and apparel. Kanye West once appeared at a party with the logo shaved into his head.

1925. Edoardo and Adele Fendi, just married, open a small leathergoods shop and fur worshop on via del Plebiscito. It’s the postwar period during which the new middle class is trying to find the way to recover. With that historical and social background the shop is an immediate success, because of the quality of the bags and the skillful workmanship of the furs.

1932. The Fendis expand and open another bigger shop and atelier on via Veneto, a residential area near via Veneto that is becoming an important commercial centre in that period. As the business is growing, the fur workshop is enlarged and the Fendi name, already famous in Rome, becomes well-known outside the boundaries of the town. The italian woman is fascinated by Fendi items, and the brand is going to become synonym of taste and style.

1946. The second Fendi generation is fatally attracted by the parents’ business. Paola, the eldest daughter, is the first one to join the company at fifteen. The four sisters follow as soon as they graduate from high school: a new entry every couple of years. It is the time in which Italy lives the frantic struggles of the post-war reconstruction. The role of women is changing in the entirely new scenary that emerges in the Fifthies and Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla and Alda, bring in new energy and new, modern ideas both for leather goods and furs. Their mother Adele encourages them, and her tenacity and personality will be a very important guide-line for their working training.

1964. Fendi is by now a well-known name in Italy. The family opens the first of several future Fendi shops on via Borgognona, which is at the time a small street of craftman. There, important names open up shops on the street and Anna Fendi creates an association of merchants (Associazione di via Borgognona, of which she is the President today) whose objective is to preserve the characteristic aspect of the road. Since many years it is considered the most elegant street in the city.

1965. This is an iportant year for Fendi that starts to work with Karl Lagerfeld, a young designer who is becoming well-known in Paris. The double FF logo is created and it has since become the symbol of a style. Interpreting the desires and suggestions of the Fendi sisters, Lagerfeld changes the whole concept of fur. What had always been a precious but stiff and heavy coat, becomes light, soft, easy to wear and suits women. The cooperation between the Fendis and Karl Lagerfeld pushes them towards the research of new materials and Paola Fendi tests new techniques. Furs that have been forgotten or put aside because considered as "poor" are used again. The workshops try tannings, colours and combinations, fur are cut, woven and inalid. Today Fendi is considered the leader brand in the fur field, because thanks to its tradition and continuous research, it has succeeded in creating a product that looks to the future without losing the important values of the past.

1966. The revolutionary methods characterizing the new fur collections are ready to be committed to the press and buyers consent: Fendi presents its first couture collection designed by Karl Lagerfeld. Success is immediate and the intrnational market starts paying attention to this new name.

1968. Following the natural expansion of the Fendi products, the Fendi bags are discovered in Rome by Marvin Traub. He is the legendary President of Bloomingdales’ and a refined talent- scout. The bags make their first appearence in New York. The same year the Fendis organize a fashion show in Japan. Mr Sakai, President of AOI (one of the leading disrtibutors in Japan of luxury items) is there to have a look. Again, it’s a "coupe de foudre". Fendi starts its expansion on the Japanese market.

1969. Fendi creates its first RTW fur collection which, when combined with craftmade workmanship, research and experience, reproduces the idea and quality of a limited- production collection. The results are as good as expected: beautiful furs at reasonable costs and retail prices. Fendi thus brings its RTW furs to Palazzo Pitti in Florence, where foreign buyers are officially introduced to the new line. Fendi strives to meet the needs of foreign markets by incorporating new ideas and suggestions received from abroad. By doing so, Fendi attracts the attention of major American stores. Leather goods and furs evolve jointly; the same ideas inspire both fur collections and leather accessories. Women’s bags become fashion items, at the same time practical and functional, and designed with the same revolutionary principles as the furs. The leather is printed, meshed tinted and tanned to become softer and more beautiful. In addition to the famous classic canvas created as an alternative to leather in 1968, Fendi introduces striped caucciÙ (ribber rubber), various waterproof fabrics, and today the traditional colours Fendi, black and mud, are reproposed in stripes, dama and regimental patterns.

1977. A second RTW line, an apparel collection, is created to complement the fashion image of discerning women who look for the same style and taste for their clothes as they do for their furs and accessories. Its success has grown steadily and, just as furs and bags, the Fendi coat or dress is immediatly recognized for its distinctive look and workmanship.

1984. As furs, leather goods and ready-to-wear are having a great success, Fendi diversifies into a series of new products and lines and accessories, successful because they are created with the same attention to detail and fashion associated with the Fendi name: jeans, gloves, ties, glasses, lighters, foulards, pens that together represent the wide Fendi world.

1985. It’s very important year in the Fendy history. It marks sixty years of business and twenty years of work together with Karl Lagerfeld. Fendi celebrates this anniversary with a special exhibition at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, the first "fashion" exhibition ever presented in a national museum in Italy, illustrating the complexity of creative and technical work involved in the development of a collection. At the same time Fendi launches its first woman fragrance.

1986. The Italian President awards Paola Fendi the title of "Cavaliere del lavoro". It honours her fourty years of work in the company and it also reflects on the family, the staff, and in essence, on Edoardo and Adele.

1987. For the Fendi brand, that costantly proposes new ideas and follows the market needs, a new interesting market share is aquired: the Fendi third generation launches Fendissime, a line that includes not only furs, but also sportwear and accessories, conceived by young people for a young and less young clientele. Fendissime will grow independently from the other Fendi lines.

1989. Fendi Uomo, a man fragrance, has a worldwide launch and equals the success of the woman’s perfume. To underline its commercial success oversea, Fendi opens its forst flagship store in the United States on Fifth Avenue, New York. With a retail space of 22,000 square feet, this store offers, for the first time, the entire Fendi world under one roof.

1990. Fendi uomo menswear is launched: the man as interpreted and clothed by the five sisters. It is a complete line of menswear and accessories for every moment and circumstance in a man’s life.

1992. As the market is growing, Fendi has a logical expansion which lead to an increase in the production of Fendi goods and to the reorganization of the company premises. All the Fendi officis, creative studios, a 2000 square meters fur worshops, the showroom, the warehouses and packaging facilitites, preciously scattered in various areas of Rome, are gathered in a 13,000 sq.m. compound.

1994. It is an important year for the history both of the Fendi family and of the company. The Fendi family makes important changes in the administrative organization of the company. The third generation is admitted to the Board of Directors. As a natural turnover of power, Carla Fendi is named President of the Boards, taking the place of her sister Paola.

1995. Fendi company has over 380 employees, in addition to the almost 2000 people involved in its various related activities. Roughly 70% of the overal production is geared for export. 100 boutiques, 2 direct Fendi stores in Rome and New York and 600 points of sale scattered in Italy and abroad.

In 1999 the sisters sold out to LVMH and Prada for an estimated US$850m[1], trumping a bid from Gucci of a rumoured US$700m. LVMH have since bought out Prada and are investing heavily in the brand, expanding the network of boutiques to 117 as of 2005.

In 2007, the world was blown away with Fendi's fashion show on the Great Wall. Showcasing Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini's latest fashions and specially designed outfits for the Great Wall event, 88 models from Asia and across the world descended down a catwalk of more than 85 meters and showcased eastern and western looks from Fendi’s Spring / Summer '08 collection to more than 500 guests, media and VIPS – including Thandie Newton, Kate Bosworth and Zhang Ziyi.

COACH Coach Inc. is an American luxury leather goods company known for ladies' handbags, as well as items such as luggage, briefcases, wallets and other accessories (belts, shoes, scarves, umbrellas, sunglasses, key chains, etc.). Coach also offers watches and footwear.

Coach began as a family-owned business in a loft in Manhattan, New York in 1941 with American designer Bonnie Cashin. In 1960, Miles and Lillian Cahn, owners of a wholesale handbag manufacturing business, asked Cashin to become designer of a proposed retail collection. As Cashin was initially too busy with other design contracts, she did not become their designer until 1962.

In developing accessories for her style of contemporary dress, Cashin dramatically changed handbags with designs akin to modern sculpture, dyed in candy colors of pink, orange, yellow and blue, and lined with linens designed by textile designer Dorothy Liebes. With a greater variety of shapes, colors and textures in her "Cashin-Carry" designs, many featured wide openings or exterior coin purses and pockets. Coach Incorporated is now considered to be a very "fashion-forward" brand and is commonly sold and purchased throughout the country.

Cashin designed matching shoes, pens, key fobs and eyewear and added hardware to her clothes and accessories alike, particularly the silver toggle that became the Coach hallmark, declaring that she had been inspired by a memory of quickly fastening the top on her convertible sports car and sports cars.

CELINE Celine is a French luxury house founded in 1945 by Celine Vipiana. Today, it is an international luxury goods brand owned by LVMH, purchased in 1996 for 2.7 billion French francs ($540 million).

Celine was originally created as a made-to-measure children's shoe business that eventually grew into women's shoes and accessories. The ready-to-wear line debuted in the 1960s.

American fashion designer Michael Kors was named the first ever women's ready-to-wear designer and creative director for Celine in 1997.[3] During his tenure at Celine, Kors turned the fashion house around with blockbuster accessories and a critically acclaimed ready-to-wear line. Kors designed for the label until 2004. Italian designer Roberto Menichetti was named creative director. After a disappointing year, Menichetti was replaced by Croatian designer Ivana Omazic. Omazic was a a former consultant for the brand and previously worked with Romeo Gigli, Prada, Jil Sander, and Miu Miu.

On September 4th 2008, the influential fashion portal WWDFashion announced that Bernard Arnault, president of LVMH, appointed Phoebe Philo as the new creative director of Celine. Philo will start at Celine in October 2008 and will present her first Celine collection next March for the fall-winter 2009 season, with a runway debut seven months later. Philo will replace Ivana Omazić, who, according to LVMH, failed to transform this second league brand into an essential flagship of worldwide prêt-à-porter. “By giving Philo Celine, we’re giving her a platform to express her vision,” said Pierre-Yves Roussel, chief executive officer of LVMH’s fashion division which owns Celine.
