Harrods Pradasphere Prada London

The Pradasphere at Harrods- It’s Cosmic!

When two fashion powerhouses unite, it is an intergalactic experience.  And it’s happening now at the Pradasphere!

Housed under this ceiling on the 4th floor of Harrods, this is a cosmic attraction for any London fashionista.

The journey starts with vintage items from Prada. It includes those made close to the turn of the 20th century. You can see items below, like original paper which covered the purchased Italian treasures.

Also on display are some of Miuccia’s favourite pieces. They’re grouped by theme, not season.

On the back wall of the Exhibition, videos of Prada models marching down runways appear. Staring long enough will surely put you in a fashion trance.

If you’re feeling extra posh, I’d highly suggest splurging in the pop-up Marchesi Café, specifically designed by Miuccia to complete the experience.

For more on that, see my review of the café.

For those interested in Italian fashion, there’s also The Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum from April 5-July 27. Tickets are £12 and advance booking is recommended.
