in this episode im taking dario vitale's exit at versace as an excuse to do a little bit of a brainstorming around the history of the prada group. i keep saying this but the speculations behind this move are way too good, and honestly the more i look at it the less random it feels ngl.we start in 1913 with the fratelli prada in the galleria, move through miuccia + bertelli turning a luggage shop into a cultural machine, then zoom in on the empire-building years: when prada bought jil sander and helmut lang and almost broke itself in the process. from there, we look at dario vitale’s 14 years inside miu miu, his impact on the brand’s image and insane growth, and finally land on my three conspiracy theories about why he was let go from versace right after prada bought the house.DO NOT FORGET the next episode it's gonna be our yearly giveaway FIND ME HERE!!!!!!!!!YOUTI https://youtu.be/OfMSv7zVnQgIG https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelieSUBSTI https://thefashionarchives.substack.com/CICI [email protected]

kelly cutrone is reality tv loreone of the few people in fashion who understood that power, communication and a little fear can shape an entire generation. long before influencer culture she built a world where honesty mattered more than likability. cheapeau?00:00 — intro01:17 — who is kelly cutrone05:52 — the anti-influencer before influencing12:04 — influencers as fashion’s frankenstein16:40 — fashion criticism in 2025but I was thinking: would someone like kelly cutrone, stern, sharp, villain coded in a devil wears prada way still be accepted TODAY - in my today's mind she sounds blabla-ly and random not/gonna/liein this episode i look at the version of her the internet remembers and the one the industry quietly respects. her rise from the hills and the city, the pedagogy behind her toughness but also her latest interview here https://open.spotify.com/episode/7KhErSUR8EYG4MTGU5ugin?si=5a86881483614096 we also talk about influencers as fashion’s frankenstein, created by US and then accepted by the industry and then blamed for everything, and where fashion criticism sits today now that creators hold more power than hisotrical institutions like vogue etc (IMO - no need to add that)
