True to the stress and exhilaration of those years, Miuccia Prada joined the Communist Party and graduated from university in political science. A communist past is nothing unusual in today’s Italian elite; it would be truer to say it is de rigueur. But in the fashion world, her persistent left-ish political inclination, her irony and her sheer brains make her exceptional.
We should start a Tumblr “Republicans, Tea Partiers and assorted right wingers wearing Prada”, just so we know how consistent they are in their politics. I bet if we search enough, we can find photos of Palin wearing some Prada item.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
