Nylon Backpack as Trojan Horse

“Miuccia's production diversifies thanks to the use of original materials and unexpected combinations. By elevating a nylon backpack to a cult object, she makes her first indelible mark. And then she goes further: from bags to shoes and clothes, the step is short, especially if you have beside you a fiery and brilliant entrepreneurial partner, with whom she discusses everything, continuously.”

“She has dismantled the prevailing aesthetic standards in the world of fashion, introduced disturbing concepts, uprooted clichés, created a new stylistic language for emancipated, free women, transformed an industrial material into a cult object, captured the spirit of the times and put it on the catwalk.”
