This publication is also available in: Français Deutsch Italiano Español English (US)

On a glossy orange carpet in Milan, the House of Prada, under the bold vision of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, unveils a collection that embodies a sensitive response to the information overload of our time. In a saturated world, their approach aims to be a breath of lightness, a quest for escape through pieces that are both functional and aesthetic.

A new feminine creativity

The show, presented at the Fondazione Prada, highlighted a universe where clothes are designed to transform and adapt. The collection, oscillating between everyday uniforms and sophisticated evening wear, offers a bold mix: a military ensemble coexists with a satin dress adorned with sequins, thus redefining the codes of elegance. Miuccia Prada states:

“This collection is a reaction to uncertainty – clothes that can evolve, change, adapt.”

The silhouettes unfold with fluidity, rediscovering classic elements like skirts suspended by straps, while draped tops combine structure and lightness. This “new elegance” offers a bold feminine vision, while emphasizing the autonomy of the modern woman. Raf Simons adds: “We started with a sense of freedom – an expression through clothing.”

In this context of creativity, the two designers remind us that fashion is intimately linked to our time, while inviting reflection on the beauty of diversity and the strength of women through informed clothing choices. Thus, the Prada collection becomes a symbol of emancipation, a celebration of feminine identity liberated from conventions.
