Answer 2: Choice (b) is correct. According to Miuccia Prada, "Designing for me is a very complex process. There are many ideas that I want to express in one object, very often contradictory.

The solution, when I am working on Miu Miu, has to come immediately, instinctively, spontaneously with whatever is available at the moment. If I think three times, I stop."
