Our Legacy

Prada was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada and his brother, Martino. He opened the first Prada store the same year in the prestigious Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II in Milan, Italy. Here, he sold leather goods like bags, trunks, steamers, and travel accessories.

In 1919, Prada was awarded the title of Official Supplier of the Italian Royal House. With this distinction, Prada was allowed to display the House of Savoy coat of arms and knotted rope design in its trademark logo. This honor is what makes Prada a symbol of the Italian high and upper-middle class.

In the these traditional times, Mario Prada did not believe women should work outside the home and prevented his female family members from working for the company. Ironically, his only son had no interest in being the successor of the family business. Mario's daughter, Luisa Prada took over and ran the business for almost two decades.

In the mid-1970s, Luisa’s daughter, Miuccia Prada, joined the business, initially working on the accessories designs. She successfully continued the tradition of producing high-quality bags and luggage for the brand.

In 1977, Miuccia Prada is introduced to Patrizio Bertelli, a young Italian with his own leather goods business. He partnered with Miuccia and took the Prada business in a new, global direction. The two eventually married.

A womenswear line was introduced in the late 80s and the fashion world fell in love with Prada’s quality fabrics, clean lines, and color selections. Prada became one of the most coveted brands in the fashion by the early 1990s.

The Prada Group has since acquired brands like Jil Sander, Helmut Lang, and Church & Co. The company is still led by CEO Patrizio Bertelli and CEO/Head Designer Miuccia Prada.

Nanushka was founded in 2006 by designer Sandra Sandor. Born and raised in Budapest, Sandor’s mother founded one of the first children’s wear businesses in Hungary before the fall of the iron curtain and as a child, Sandor developed a love for fashion and expression through clothing. As a teenager, she decided to move to London to attend the London College of Fashion where she graduated in 2005. 

After college, Sandor felt inspired by her mother’s courage and ability to build a small business on her own under a communist regime, so she returned back home to Budapest where she ideated about starting a label for herself and began working on her first collection. In 2006, she launched her own label, Nanushka, named after the nickname her father gave her as a child.  

Nanushka was designed for the modern human, “the Seeker” as Sandor calls it, who is respectful of others, different cultures, and seeks to explore the world and take on new challenges—someone who is bold in expression of style and enjoys the functionality and values of modern spirituality. In serving this modern vision, Sandor approaches design by drawing inspiration from different cultures, times and places. She strives to create harmony between the vastly different cultural references she puts together, like mixing Western and Oriental culture or drawing inspiration by throwing together pictures of her travels to exotic places with little objects that are currently relevant to her life. Sandor has a gift of bringing opposing ideas together seamlessly which translates to functional pieces elevated with a modern flair. The functionality aspect stays true in all of Nanushka’s collections. 

“The brand DNA is built on the idea that if the garment is designed to function well, it will by definition be beautiful,” Sandor says. Her goal is to create pieces that people will continue to love over time and become a wardrobe staple.

Since its founding in 2006, Nanushka remained a small, local business for ten years until Sandor’s fiancé Peter Baldaszti joined as co-owner and CEO at the end of 2016. With the help of venture capital investor, GB Partners, Nanushka was able to expand into international markets. The brand is now stocked in over 30 countries and ships to over 100 countries worldwide.

Casablanca was founded by Charaf Tajer in 2018. Prior to starting the brand, Tajer was known for his work as a co-founder of the Parisian streetwear brand Pigalle and as a consultant to Virgil Abloh. After establishing himself in the industry and collaborating with some of the best designers in fashion today, the self-taught designer and art director set out to achieve his lifelong dream of building his own fashion brand.

Casablanca is Tajer's personal vision—a menswear brand that marries luxury and leisurewear into timeless, beautiful pieces. The designer’s parents met and fell in love working in an atelier in the fashion district of Casablanca, and Tajer spent many summers living in the Morroccan city. Paying homage to his Morroccan descent and where he began his journey, Tajer named his brand Casablanca. Not only does the name remind him of his roots, but it alludes to the feeling of vacation, travel, and luxury. These feelings set the tone for Casablanca's collections, which bring these ideas to life in material objects. In the SS20 collection, Tajer displays this beautifully through an array of silk shirts, featuring all-over prints of speedboats and oranges hand-painted by an in-house colorist. Casablanca's aesthetic draws attention from various demographics who are willing to take a stylistic risk and indulge in beautifully made pieces on the intersection of comfort and elegance. The brand perfectly captures an aprés sport mood that makes it appealing for both a 70-year-old and 20-year-old man to want to put on one of Casablanca's signature comfy tracksuits after a hard-won tennis match.

Casablanca aims to fill a void in the current fashion industry offerings and has built a dedicated following over the years. In the Spring of 2020, Casablanca was selected as a finalist for the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. While the brand is designed in Paris, all of Casablanca's clothing is made in Morocco to highlight the amazing craftsmanship and heritage of the brand. Casablanca is a fresh and exciting brand worth keeping an eye on as it continues to grow in the fashion world.
