Founded as a luxury leather goods house in 1913 in Milan, Prada entered the field of fashion when Miuccia Prada took the helm of the family company in 1979. After initially focusing exclusively on accessories, she presented the house’s first fashion collection in 1988. She would soon transform Prada into one of the world’s most influential luxury brands with a deeply personal, sophisticated and subtly subversive approach. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Miuccia Prada, before exploring the collections themselves, organised chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images that showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway, from Naomi Campbell and Gisele to Kate Moss and Kaia Gerber. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.

This book explores the complex and fascinating relationship between Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, two of the most iconic figures in modern art. Warhol, already an established legend, and Basquiat, a rising talent in New York’s urban art scene, forged a personal and professional partnership charged with energy, tension and creativity.

Produced in collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation and the Basquiat estate, this book brings together hundreds of previously unpublished photographs capturing the private and public moments of their friendship, alongside legendary figures such as Madonna, Grace Jones, Keith Haring and Fela Kuti. It also features excerpts from Warhol's Diaries, collaborative works by the two artists and memories that reveal the depth and complexity of their bond.

Moving, intimate and at times ironic, Warhol on Basquiat offers a unique, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives and legacy of two dazzling stars of contemporary art.
