To learn more about the brand and get some tips on choosing the right Prada Sport model for you, read on!
The initial inspiration for Prada Linea Rossa, as Prada Sport has been known since 2003, did not come from head designer Miuccia Prada. Rather the idea came from her husband and Prada CEO Patrizio Bertelli, when the well-known yacht designer German Frers approached him and suggested that Bertelli set up his own sailing team to compete in the prestigious America's Cup. The task of starting the new line was then back in the creative hands of the star designer, Miuccia Prada, who immediately set the ball rolling for Prada Sport a.k.a Linea Rossa. As with Prada's resurgence and Miu Miu's meteoric rise, her share in the Prada Sport project is again undeniable. Partly thanks to the high recognition value of the parent company, the Prada Sport sunglasses range was immediately successful.
As the popularity of the eyewear range increased, countless counterfeiters have tried to sell Prada Sport sunglass imitations, but these have never been able to compare to the original Prada Sport sunglasses, which are far superior in their craftmanship to fake copies. This is where the partnership between Prada and Luxottica, the Italian eyewear manufacturer, which has existed since 2003 and whose expertise is undeniable on the market, comes into play and ensures this superior quality of workmanship.
The craftmanship, the name and the high-quality materials used in their manufacture are just a few of the quality features of sunglasses by Prada sport that the stars and starlets have noticed.
