Mashup


Ms. Prada has distinguished herself with her eccentric and unconventional uses of pattern, shape and (often high-tech) fabrics. He is the first African-American to ascend to the highest office in the land. He is also the first new president since terrorists attacked New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001. Her avid explorations into pop cultural realms few designers navigated as boldly and her provocative relationship to the traditional markers of femininity in dress. There are Madonna moments in her tour documentaries, when she refers to herself as "the boss" and "the queen" when talking with her crew and dancers. More than her formal experiments with style, it is her engagement with the mutating outlines of class that make her one of Italy’s most compelling cultural exports. The first to use the Internet to decisive political advantage, the first to insist on handling a personal smartphone while in the White House.  She not only stole the show but, nearing fifty and wearing a leotard, still managed to be the best-looking woman on the stage that night.
