Pure caramel hedonism stripped of any pretense — Miuccia Prada's wink at the fashion world, proving that intellectual houses can embrace unapologetic sweetness without losing credibility.
Era & Context
Modern
Candy was Prada's audacious departure from its own intellectual minimalism. Daniela Andrier reduced the gourmand genre to its purest expression — benzoin and caramel in unapologetic abundance — and the result became one of the most recognizable gourmands of the 2010s.
