Among the many features of this book with its thousands of images are a photo-essay by renowned photographer Brigitte Lacombe; stills taken from short films documenting the craftsmanship of the factory; images of the unique fashion show environments; an overview of all Miuccia Prada's collections with thumbnail pictures of 3,885 different "looks, "; collages of the most influential shoe and bags; photographs of the final product on the runway; celebrated store designs in New York and Los Angeles by Rem Koolhaas/OMA and in Tokyo by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron; a film collaboration with director Ridley Scott; Koolhaas's radical "Prada Transformer" pavilion in Seoul; costume designs for a Japanese manga heroine; Prada found on the street and celebrities photographed on the red carpet; and blogs expressing the almost fanatical devotion of lovers of the brand.
