Prada in Isolation


Imagine a Prada Museum in the middle of the desert.
There's a place near my town wherein a lot of artists from all over the world congregate. It reminds me of a lower-scale Santa Fe, New Mexico. The name of the town is Marfa. For the past years, it has become an artsy-fartsy place. The town has been featured in Domino's and some Travel Magazines. It's a quaint town and as you drive through this long and winding road, you'd see a small museum. Yes, the museum is all about Prada. Some artist, I think, from Germany, decided to put it up in the middle of nowhere. Purpose of it? I don't know. This must be the reason why it's called "art" or maybe they don't want the devil to wear it.

FYI: the place has been vandalized several times and if there's anyone who's interested in stealing these Prada goods, tough luck, they're all glued to the shelves and display tables. Oh, and yeah, stealing isn't really a concern here. The people in this town don't know what Prada is anyway.
