I Love PRADA.


PRADA, a luxury fashion brand from Milano, Italy. I think the first time I know about this brand is last few years ago. When I was 16-17 years old I think. After that, my degree of love for this brand is keep increasing.

Mario Prada, founder of this brand. Mario Prada started PPADA in 1913 in Milano, Italy. Now, the granddaughter of Mario Prada, Miuccia Prada taking over the brand and also founder of another relative brand Miu Miu.

In year 2007, I'm 19 year old and still a Pre-U student. I bought my first PRADA wallet. That is a wallet from Logo Jacquard Collection. An unforgettable wallet for me since I collect the money for few months only get a chance to buy this wallet. A year after, I bought a sling bag from Logo Jacquard Collection too. Anyway, this collection was discontinued in the end of 2008. So, I will appreciate these two leather goods from PRADA.

Beside leather goods, all the other collection of PRADA also be my favorite. All new seasons Ready To Wear, Fragrances Collection, Shoe....... is also what I bought from PRADA. Wanted to PRADA is unlimited but money to spend on PRADA is limited.


This is PRADA Perfumed Infusion D'Iris Candle. I bought this candle in the end of 2008 for Christmas House Party celebration. But, this fragrance collection used by my mother.


This pair of shoe is from Men Spring Summer 2010 Collection. I bought it in the end of 2009. This is my second pair of PRADA shoe. Hope I will get my third........... pair of PRADA shoe.

Beside PRADA collection, I wish to visit PRADA boutique around the world. But, I know this is quite hard to achieve it. Just hope can visit some of the unique boutique in the world. So far, I just visited two stores in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which is PRADA boutique in Suria KLCC and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.


Facade of the boutique.

Inside of the boutique, the original black and white chequered marble floor.

This is the first PRADA Boutique in Milano, Italy in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Opened in 1913 celebrated symbol of Milan. The inside of the shop has not changed, the interior design still remain the same. Wish to visit it soon and hope to visit it before I dead.


Prada Marfa.

This is a small boutique of PRADA and I think is smallest PRADA boutique. Located in Valentine, Texas, on the side of U.S. Route 90 named Prada Marfa. Wish to visit this unique boutique too.

Usually, people will think of luxury fashion brand is a thing for people to show off their money, background and so on. But for me, luxury fashion brand is a way to increase our lifestyle and make our life excellent. I understand for certain people, luxury fashion brand is for them to show off and compare between each other.

In this post, I just wanna share my favorite to you all and to share this succesful fashion brand.

ITALY



ITALY, a country I like. WHY??? I do not know why and I never visit this country before. I from Malaysia, Italy in Europe and Malaysia in Asia. The distance between these two countries maybe more than what in my mind.

These two countries with different background, culture, lifestyle...... But, as a citizen in Malaysia, I prefer to have a lifestyle as citizens of Italy. WHY??? I think maybe is what I prefer for my life is only Italy can make it true. I like Italian cuisine, Italian fashion brands, Italian culture as well as Italian person.

No matter how I like Italy, I must accept I'm a citizen from Malaysia. Italy just will be a destination for me 20 more years later. Can't wait to reach the time I visit Italy. But, beside wait, what to do. Only can blame "money not with me". Once the chance is in front of me, maybe I will forget all the bitter in my life.

Hope my dream to visit Italy can be true soon. When is the time to say "ITALY I'm coming" ?
