The company, originally known in Italy as ("Prada Brothers"), was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada in Milan. In 1978, Mario's granddaughter Miuccia Prada inherited what was still a leather goods business from her mother, and led the company's expansion into couture.
In addition to the original Prada line, the company introduced the Kelsie Jones Miu Miu collection, a lower-priced line aimed at a younger audience, in 1992. The Miu Miu line, which shares Miuccia Prada's nickname, emphasizes earthy colors and a less haute couture look, evoking an overall more bohemian style. It was followed by the Prada Sport 'Linea Rossa' collection, which featured tennis shoes. The Prada line produces high-end ready-to-wear clothes and accessories for men and women in addition to a range of children's clothes, fragrances and cosmetic products and home products, whilst the Prada Sport and Miu Miu lines produce clothes and accessories for men and women, including handbags, shoes, wallets, and sunglasses.
Prada currently has 14 locations in the U.S., 6 in New York, as well as boutiques in Bal Harbour, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, Chicago, Honolulu, Waikiki, and Las Vegas. A boutique in the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Boston is being planned.
Prada has three flagship "epicenter" stores as well that are much larger and carry more merchandise than regular boutiques. These are located in New York, Beverly Hills, and Tokyo. Source

The founder of Zara Amancio Ortega opened first Zara store in 1975. The first Zara store was located on a central street in A Coruña. Upon the success of Zara format, the firm started to expand and opened further stores.
Its first store featured low-priced lookalike products of popular, higher-end clothing fashions. The store proved to be a success, and Ortega started opening more Zara stores in Spain. By the early 1980s, Ortega had begun formulating a new type of design and distribution model. The clothing industry followed design and production processes that required long lead times, often up to six months, between the initial design of a garment and its delivery to retailers. This model effectively limited manufacturers and distributors to just two or three collections per year. Predicting consumer tastes ahead of time presented inherent difficulties, and producers and distributors faced the constant risk of becoming saddled with unsold inventory. Source

Tudo começou em St. Tropez, badalado paraíso de milionários europeus no sul da França, no ano de 1971, quando o jovem Fred Pryskel, um apaixonado por corridas de automóveis e fundador da Vilabrequin, sentou-se num café e começou a tesourar uma toalha de mesa em xadrez, um calção de banho simples e elegante que fosse adequado para nadar nas famosas praias do balneário. Após finalizar a prova piloto, resolveu utilizar tela de vela náutica, um material de secagem rápida para finalizar sua criação. Nascia ali o boxer-short, o primeiro calção de banho, que chamava a atenção pela estampa e o corte diferenciado, um verdadeiro ícone fashion nada parecido com os padrões da época. O produto criado por Fred, incorporou alguns itens de tecnologia simples, estampas inusitadas e conforto. Não demorou muito para que bermudas de cores fortes e temas florais fossem vistas vestindo banhistas nas mais badaladas praias européias.
As coleções trazem, geralmente, de 150 a 200 itens, com tamanhos entre 2 anos a 6XL, em 16 modelos de corte. A grife oferece ainda uma linha de roupa em linho, que inclui camisas, calças e bermudas a acessórios como óculos de sol, bonés e toalhas de praia. Homens como George Clooney, Príncipe William, Leonardo Di Caprio, Brad Pitt e Nicholas Sarkozy, já foram vistos com peças assinadas pela Vilebrequin.

Noted for its quality materials, use of color, and elegant and femininine designs, Escada successfully widened its clientele and by 1981 established a name in many categories of womenswear, specializing in formal wear and knitwear. In 1982, the company opened their first store in the United States on Fifth Avenue in New York City and opened its first store in Asia the following year in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong boutique became a worldwide landmark, marked for its use of gold in the store's design.
