...some cases, her open contempt--for the dictates of fashion. Whereas fashion expects an image to be constantly updated, Prada reportedly sank upwards of $100 million into projects that are supposed to be permanent, if not immutable: her architecturally pioneering stores in New York City (by Dutch brainiac Rem Koolhaas) and Tokyo (by the precise Swiss duo Herzog & De Meuron). Whereas common sense says a designer should design what she likes, Prada will choose a color (such as turquoise) that she despises, because of the rush it gives her when she can make something beautiful with...

While the form is striking, the actual spaces seem less than ideal. Reminiscent of Dutch architect-celebrity Rem Koolhaas’ Second Stage Theatre in Manhattan, the stage’s proscenium is replaced by a giant window that overlooks the street below and doubles as a film screen.

Hadid may have found the perfect client in the Cincinnati art center, a place that will go down in history for taking chances--and not just because of her. Thirteen years ago, when it was still lodged over a Walgreen's drugstore, it presented an exhibit of Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs that got its director arrested on obscenity charges.
