'La Scuola Prada' by Jamie Hawkesworth in Bazaar Italia | Prada Galleria at Rong Zhai

Models Anne Floor Wetemans [aka Anne Floor] and Betsy Gaghan pose in ‘La Scuola Prada’, a cohesive fashion story focused on the intellectual mindset of Miuccia Prada as revealed in ongoing examinations by fashion media of the Prada archives.

Photographer Jamie Hawkesworth [IG] captures the story for Harper’s Bazaar Italy’s September 2025 issue.

Think China. And Rong Zhai

Prada has injected this creative examination of its archives and the Galleria bag, in particular, into a weekend event at the brand’s four-story Rong Zhai, a restored historical mansion blending Art Deco and Chinese motifs in downtown Shanghai. The cultural center has been transformed into a cinematic villa that moves beyond a focus on the current creative collaboration between Johansson and Lanthimos.

As one of Prada’s bestsellers, the Galleria bag does command its own attention and focus at this second ‘Prada Gallery Invites’. Italian craftsmen will be on site to offer live demonstration of the production process, to facilitate Galleria personalization orders and also offer leather care services.
