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

Nascida em 1854 como fabricante de malas e baús, a Louis Vuitton desenha roupas e acessórios de luxo, usando em suas campanhas publicitárias estrelas como o guitarrista dos Rolling Stones Keith Richards, e as atrizes Scarlett Johansson e Uma Thurman e ainda o ex-presidente russo, Mikhail Gorbachev, para protagonizar uma campanha publicitária de malas de viagem, fotografada pela renomada Annie Leibovitz.
O segredo de seu sucesso foi aliar qualidade e exclusividade, criar objetos de desejo em número limitado, que muitas sonham ter, mas nem todas conseguem. Muito mais do que uma grife: uma lenda.
A principal loja da marca é a Louis Vuitton Champs-Elysées, situada em uma das avenidas mais cobiçadas de Paris, e instalada em um prédio da década de 30, considerado patrimônio histórico da França. As outras lojas estão localizadas nas principais cidades cosmopolitas do mundo como Nova York, Milão, Londres, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Lisboa, Canes, Lyon, Marselha, Berlin, entre outras.
No Brasil, existem cinco lojas da Louis Vuitton. Quatro em São Paulo: Shopping Cidade Jardim, Shopping Iguatemi, Daslu e Rua Haddock Lobo; a quinta, no Rio de Janeiro: Rua Garcia D’Ávilla - Ipanema.

After traveling to India in the early '70s, Ferré dove into fashion, first with accessories, and later, launching his own label, Baila, in 1974. Signature women's and men's collections soon followed, and Ferré stepped onto the field of high fashion with the debut of his couture line in 1986. He took his philosophy to the house of Christian Dior, where he was stylistic director from 1989 to 1997. Still influenced by his first trips to Asia, Ferré's designs display an East-meets-West aesthetic that vehemently rejects trends and gimmicks, concentrating instead on a relaxed sophistication and casual elegance.

A French high-end retailer specializing in tailored men's and women's clothing. The company started humbly as a small custom tailor shop that Jean Goldberg opened in 1950 on Rue Paradis in Nice, France. By 1958 the small tailor shop was making custom tuxedos for Hollywood stars that were in the Cote d'Azur for the annual Cannes Film Festival.

A marca, inaugurada em 2004, hoje, é uma das queridinhas entre os cariocas. A proposta é unir a irreverência e o despojamento do carioca em coleções que incluem roupas, acessórios e objetos, para eles, para elas e até para a casa, tendo como carro-chefe as t-shirts que consagraram a marca, com suas estampas sempre bem-humoradas. O fato de as peças fugirem do estilo surfwear e traduzirem um universo mais urbano fazem com que a loja tenha a cara de São Paulo.
Além das camisetas famosas por suas estampas bem-humoradas e os objetos divertidos, verdadeiros achadinhos em presente, um sucesso da loja é a linha infantil, com bodies e camisetinhas para bebês e crianças. Assim como para os adultos, as roupas para os pequenos, também, apresentam dizeres engraçados. Todas as criações são dos irmãos Alan e Renata Grimberg, pai e mãe corujíssimos e, talvez por isso, tenham tanta liberdade de criação para as roupinhas de bebês.
