The Pradasphere is finally open. This morning Harrods unveiled its eagerley-anticipated collaboration with Prada - an exhibition celebrating the history of the brand and the ideas of its founder Miuccia Prada.
"Welcome to the Pradasphere, a collection of remarkable objects arranged to reveal our complex, often intertwined, obsessions as manifest in everything from fashion and accessories to art, architecture, film and culture," a placard greeted us as we arrived for a first look at the space. "It is also an unabashed celebration of exquisite materiality and craftsmanship, a paean to the rare and the finely wrought, and a whole-hearted endorsement of the stylistic iconoclast."

Iconic dresses encased in glass displays, books that demand to be devoured and the most memorable pieces from the history of the brand - among many more unmissable objects - make up this unique emporium. Upon showing us around, a Harrods spokesperson introduced the exhibition as, "the recurrent cultural themes that are evident in Mrs Prada's work", describing it as, "a natural history museum of Prada". Our favourite kind of history.
