Prada's works and large-scale illustration and/or poster installations have been showcased in museums, art fairs and galleries worldwide Colette in Paris and Deitch Projects in New York "The New Modern Man: A Styling Chart", published in 2012, features a series of stylized portraits highlighting male hairstyles juxtaposed with geometric drawings, paying homage to the barbershop and the subtle nuances and cues that help define the male persona, identity and representation within the parameters of visual and popular culture.
