Prada joined forces with three international female architects for Prada Invites

Just in time for Milano Design Week, Italian luxury house Prada launches a new series of products in partnership with three outstanding female architects. The series titled Prada Invites brings together these three women: Cini Boeri, Elizabeth Diller and Kazuyo Sejima to create unique bags using Prada’s signature nylon fabric.

With the edge of varying cultural backgrounds and experiences, each architect was able to craft entirely unique pieces in response to the project. Renown Italian architect Cini Boeri was able to produce a functional bag that has the ability to be expanded or reduced according to the need or occasion; Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima instead crafted a rather more playful and artistic design, with a long version called the ‘daln’ and a curved version called the ‘yooo.’ American architect Elizabeth Miller produced two bags, one called ’The Yoke’ and the other ’The Envelope’,  which are both bags as well as garment bags as they cover a range of multiple different functions. 

This venture of creating products for different women by different women is only a short glimpse of Prada’s fascination with multifaceted representations of contemporary femininity and the fruits which it will bear.
The Prada Invites bags are on sale with several different drops from the end of March until the beginning of May in selected Prada stores worldwide. In each of these stores, along with the bags, several short films will be on display, giving insight into the architects’ processes throughout the creation of the pieces.
