up to now I wasn't very interested in Prada fashion, it's not my prefered style. But I've ever been very interested in Schiaparelli. There are several books and lots of articles in my fashion library about her. I love Schiaparellis curved female style, the funny details she used to give a special "kick" to her fashion, the way she used unusual material. Interesting to see, how influence of and collaboration with artists of her time made her fashion so special. I don't see that at Prada. Seems to be very interesting to compare these both.
Certainly I'm very interested to get the book :-)

unfortunately I can't find this mentioned class on patternreview. Possibly you will help?

well, I'm not a vintage sewer. but I own a pretty nice collection of German fashion magazines from 1913 to 1918 and they are inspiration for modern up to date fashion. I search my pattern library for matching basic patterns and then add details of the 1913 to 1918 vintage fashion. A suitable length, a suitable shape and when finished there's a unique and interesting design of a modern dress.
