Prada eyewear: designs that define Italian elegance

Prada transforms the disruptive into a trend. Luxury and beauty took on a new meaning when Mrs. Prada's designs entered the fashion scene, and since then, Prada eyewear has been a symbol of divergence from traditional aesthetic patterns.

What began as an exclusive leather goods store for the Italian Royal Household became one of the world's most influential fashion brands when its heiress, Miuccia Prada, took the reins of the company. In just a few years, Prada went from making leather goods to designing complete collections of garments and accessories, from dresses and shirts to hats and sunglasses.

Prada glasses are emblems of avant-garde fashion and at Óptica Bassol you have plenty to choose from. Here is a selection of the most iconic Prada eyewear designs.

Most iconic Prada sunglasses designs

Prada is a multifaceted brand. Among its sunglasses you can find all shapes, from frames with round frames and lenses to Aviator models. But there are 4 types of Prada eyewear that are signature.

1. Ugly chic" designs, Prada's living legacy.

Prada's hallmark is irreverent designs with unsightly suggestions. Miumiu (Miucci's family nickname) created the idea of "ugly chic" outfits in 1996 to break the concept of beauty from within.

These models stand out for their banal eccentricity and shocking colors to break the traditional model of beauty imposed by brands like Versace and Armani. The Prada PRA18S, PRA26S and PR08YS sunglasses are exemplary examples of the brand's revolutionary approach.

2. Prada Rossa Line Eyewear

Prada Rossa represents the sporty and functional face of Prada. "Rossa" means red in Italian, so the distinctive mark of these designs is a red line on the temples with the house logo. Any lover of quality eyewear will distinguish them immediately.

3. Oversize glasses: Prada's specialty.

Prada: more than a fashion house, a cultural symbol.

Mrs. Prada's initiative was to demonstrate that fashion is more than superficiality and show business. According to her ideas, dressing and projecting an image to the world should be seen as an art and a science, rather than an everyday fact valued only by a few pretentious people.

Miuccia Prada stresses the importance of the political act involved in dressing every day: "It's all this social implication of fashion and dressing that I find really interesting today, and nobody really bothers to analyze it because our work is supposed to be something stupid and snobbish".

More than a fashion brand, Prada represents the shift in contemporary fashion paradigms and expectations. Prada eyewear is the definitive stamp of an outfit loaded with history, rebellion and reconstruction of the concept of beauty.
