Origin[]
Prada is an Italian luxury fashion house founded in 1913 in Milan by Mario Prada. It specializes in leather handbags, travel accessories, shoes, ready-to-wear, and other fashion accessories. Prada licenses its name and branding to Luxottica for eyewear and L’Oréal for fragrances and cosmetics.
Founded in 1913 and named for the family of founder Mario Prada, the company originally sold imported English animal goods before transitioning to waterproof nylon fabrics in the 1970s under the leadership of Mario's granddaughter, Miuccia Prada and her husband Patrizio Bertelli. By the 1990s, Prada was perceived as a luxury brand, a designation credited to originality in its designs. To further the business, Miuccia Prada founded Miu Miu as a subsidiary of Prada around this time period; the company additionally partnered with LVMH to acquire a joint stake in Fendi; Prada further assisted LVMH in its failed takeover of Gucci.
Effects[]
Clothing the models animates them to move the same fashion as a runway model demonstrating a new fashion outfit. Placing in a specific uniform gives them some movements associated with the clothing, such as coveralls giving more durability or running shorts quicker speed. They are by themselves fragile even when clothed, making them easy to neutralize. Causes prices on all products the viewers peruse to become outrageously expensive for a day or two.
Appearances[]
Used by Matt Sordens to prevent the Leverage crew from further infiltrating too deeply into the Warehouse. When clothed with the Shaolin Temple Robes, they become stand-in martial artists. They are not too difficult to stop if the user has an adequate level of martial arts prowess however and were taken down on their approach towards the agents.
