This week I was asked to look for a product/service that I thought was innovative. I choose the Prada epicenter in NYC. My thoughts lead me to look into this when I was eating my cheerios watching the today show. They were simply talking about fall fashion, when I recalled talk about the Dressing Rooms at Prada’s Epicenter in NYC. I had no idea that the innovation went beyond fantastic dressing room doors. Check out these links below to learn about the project in detail.
