MILAN: Miuccia Prada delivered an unflinching defence Thursday of her creative leadership of the flagging luxury giant that bears her name, saying her work is more important than sales. Her Spring/Summer 2018 collection had just gone down the catwalk at Milan Fashion Week, when the billionaire businesswoman and designer reacted to the lacklustre sales that have dogged Prada. “I don’t want to be judged by sales, my life is much more important than sales,” she told reporters backstage at Prada headquarters. Still Prada hit the catwalk with a fighting spirit, showing a collection adorned with the studs made famous by punk rockers’ black leather jackets. The latest designs from the veteran German designer emerged “in a swirl of Caribbean colour and flavour“, as he said in his notes on the collection for Fendi.
