The stylish globetrotter and co-founder of Buzz Agency takes a trip to Prada's pop-up in the middle of the desert
Earlier this year I travelled to Marfa, Texas with Dee Poon and other members of the Tate International Council. This tiny, isolated city in the Chihuahuan Desert may not seem like an obvious destination for a British institution to take an international group of arts patrons, but it’s actually long been a hotbed of creativity and a hub for the arts.
At the top of most visitors’ lists is Prada Marfa, a permanent installation of a lifesize Prada store—complete with real Prada products—that looks like it’s been dropped in the desert outside Marfa, just off Highway 90. It’s the first outdoor installation commissioned by Ballroom Marfa, a nonprofit supporting culture and the arts.
