Stepping into Bar Luce at the Fondazione Prada in Milan is stepping foot into the mind of Wes Anderson. Bar Luce could easily be a set from one of his films, a pastel palette, color-blocking, retro details, and symmetry, signatures of his whimsical films. The café, a throwback to Milanese cafés of the 50s and 60s, is just one of several collaborations between Prada and Wes Anderson. Anderson also directed a series of short films worth watching for the designer, Castello Cavalcanti and PRADA Candy series. Together they are a perfect collaboration and no visit to Milan is complete without experiencing it.
