Cupro is a semi-synthetic fibre made from cotton linter, the fine fibres that surround cotton seeds. Although derived from a natural source, the cellulose is dissolved and regenerated through a chemical process, meaning cupro is not considered a natural fibre. It is valued for its smooth handle, fluid drape and breathability, making it a popular alternative to silk for linings and lightweight garments. Its environmental impact depends largely on how manufacturing chemicals are managed.

Prada is a Milan-based luxury fashion house led by Miuccia Prada, who transformed the brand into one of the most influential voices in contemporary fashion. It is known for its intellectual approach to design, combining rigorous tailoring, unexpected fabric choices, and a distinctive tension between elegance and unconventional beauty. Often credited with redefining modern luxury, Prada has challenged conventional ideas of beauty through its use of unexpected materials, unconventional casting, and deliberately anti-glamorous aesthetics.
