Rays of light flashed out of his eyes in a red glow.PRADAlogo. The illustration is by James Jean, a Taiwanese artist living in Los Angeles who has won numerous awards for his work covering American comics from DC and Marvel, and has attracted the attention of Takashi Murakami, Guillermo del Toro, and Katsuya Terada, who is considered one of the most powerful painters of our time.

Influenced by traditional Japanese woodblock prints and ukiyoe woodblock prints by Katsushika Hokusai and Tsukioka Hoshin, his style is based on comic motifs, but also has an ethereal atmosphere. Thanks to this, the retro-chic forms and textures blend easily. Designer Miuccia Prada may have sought a reality in this hand-drawn world that cannot be found in virtual reality.

Prada is one of the fashion houses with the deepest knowledge of art, having established the predecessor of the Fondazione Prada in 1993 and opening an art complex in Milan in 2015. When it comes to playing with art, Prada is in a class of its own.
