Perhaps the ones who are not so interested in Prada or who can't afford Prada can now claim to own a piece of the pie. <br /><br />Also, I think it's brilliant marketing on part of LG. Apple stole their thunder when the iPhone came out looking so similar to their phone and I think that LG wanted to be seen as cool and hip as well. <br /><br />I know what you mean about designers should just create but I think in today's world where one is bombarded with so many choices, the designers have to become brands in order to survive - all about longevity.

Just the little name sitting there....I guess I just wnat designers to create and be designers, not just a brand. Why is that a company as successful and popular as Prada lend their name to a phone?
