How to Tell the True Difference Between Prada and Miu Miu

Prada was started in 1913 by Mario Prada as a leather goods shop in Italy. Later, Mario handed the business over to his daughter, Luisa. After 20 years, her adopted daughter, Miuccia, joined the family business and officially took over in 1978. Kate Moss walked the Spring 1996 runway for the fashion house, showing off a sophisticated shirtdress with matching T-strap shoes.

Miu Miu was established by Miuccia Prada in 1993, its title inspired by a running nickname in her family. In 2002, a model boldly walked the runway in a printed swimsuit with ruching and eye-catching embellishment.

Called the Saffiano ($2,390), the design comes with a signature key fob and takes a structured silhouette with a top handle.

The striped nappa leather bag ($2,225) has a two-tone feature and a slight biker effect with the addition of a chunky chain.

They're always highly detailed — a little funky but crisply structured. The triple-strap effect plays out throughout the design of the entire heel.

They play to a theme, which starts on the runway, gets infused throughout an entire collection, and is later worked into a casual jeans-and-tee ensemble on the street.

A sugar-pink minibag has a dainty effect. It may be small, but it's special, so women still let it take center stage.

The biker bag collection can be spotted on the streets before any Miu Miu runway show. It is a favorite of girls who love to lend their outfits a bit of edge and don't mind chunky hardware.

No one could forget Kerry Washington's strapless pink Miu Miu look at the 2013 Oscars. It came with a beaded bodice and, of course, a feminine bow.

This Knee-Length Dress ($844) is available at yoox.com. In fact, you can't buy RTW Prada online. The collection is just made to feel that luxurious and exclusive. Instead, you can find plenty of old looks on eBay and The RealReal.

This Miu Miu embellished printed dress ($4,450) is from the Resort 2016 collection. From its stripes to its pattern of a naked woman, there's no telling where this mini might be worn.

For Fall '16, Miuccia Prada left her woman fully dressed. She definitely didn't forget an accessory before leaving the house, and she isn't afraid of 1940s flair.

The Miu Miu runway was It-model heavy, but each girl looked different from the next. Ms. Prada took us on a trip through the ages, and while some girls showed off '60s denim looks, others were Betty Draper-chic, showing off their twinkle toes in furry slippers. These girls were real go-getters, but maybe they didn't think things all the way through. No matter — they looked highly fashionable.
