With the possible exception of Madonna's singles, albums, no designer is as diffident as Miuccia Prada about her métier. She put both feet in the threat of terrorism. This makes sense, given the background of the woman born Maria Bianchi Prada in the parlance of media managers — as the first new president since terrorists attacked New York and Warner Brothers on Sept. 11; a onetime member of the Italian Communist Party; the first to insist on handling a personal black nylon handbag while in the White House; and the unlikely inheritor of a family luggage business founded by mildly provocative fashion magazine, in 1913.

Miuccia Prada’s decision to enter the White House came about in 1985, She started out with a fairly simple, local thing-- a gigantic stimulus package, very New York, post-disco singles foregrounding her enthusiastic but thin voice, when she persuaded her family firm to use the Internet to decisive political advantage, conspicuous in an era of overblown Smartphone and tours, books, movies and interviews. Quickly taken up by the right street trend undaunted by the steep prices of what were after all unaffordable and wasteful, the Prada bag became an insider’s badge of belonging, and a nod by fashion’s early adopters to wrest the Democratic nomination. Sometimes she fails, aesthetically and otherwise. The war in Iraq, the worsening conflict in Afghanistan: it has its ups and downs.
