Prada x Sotheby’s, Fall/Winter 2020 Campaign
As we now know without certain, 2020 is a year of change. Personally and professionally, across all industries, COVID-19 has impacted each and every one of us. The fashion industry has been rocked and surely will never return to pre-COVID form. From digital runway shows to off-season launches, fashion brands have adapted to the current world in numerous innovative ways. One such example is the recent collaboration between the Italian fashion label Prada and the auction house Sotheby’s. In lieu of a traditional advertising campaign, Prada decided to have an auction for their Fall/Winter 2020 season.
Prada x Sotheby’s, “Tools of Memory”
Set to take place from October 2-15, 2020, Prada x Sotheby’s “Tools of Memory” will celebrate the importance of design across art and fashion through an online auction. In addition, “Tools of Memory” will honor, Miuccia Prada’s unique position within the house of Prada. And how she redefined the world of fashion through design, art, architecture, and how we understand luxury today.
