We all know Miuccia Prada is really into art and Rem Koolhaas, and now she's bringing her two loves even closer together in her hometown.
The Prada Foundation just bought an exhibition space in the south of Milan to be turned into a museum, (design by Prada-stores architect Koolhaas), within the next three or four years.
There's going to be a full story on it in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, in which Miuccia explains that, "art is more or less [her] second career."
The space is meant to be not just a museum, but a "cultural center" with room for Miuccia's "collection" to be on view.
Could this be the future venue for Prada AW12? (God that looks weird.)
Maybe Sasha can donate some of her drawings, then it would really be an art/fashion collision...

Cool! But although Sasha is one of my favorite models....she can't draw. I've seen similar styles from great artists who can do more than to draw pretty model faces. Unfortunately, that's all I see in Sasha's "work." Maybe she can paint and draw with exact porportions but until then...
