Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons use fragments of history—vintage leather jackets, 1950s-inspired knitwear, and shift dresses—to celebrate timeless beauty. Yet, the collection isn’t nostalgic for nostalgia’s sake. Instead, it’s an emotional response to how ideals of beauty have evolved and continue to resonate in today’s world.
The standout feature of the collection is the use of bows, which playfully challenge traditional notions of femininity. Bows are typically seen as symbols of softness and grace, but Prada and Simons transform them into something more complex. From simple bows adorning black shift dresses to intricate, multicolored ribbons on skirts, they encourage us to question why these feminine clichés persist. The designers don’t shy away from presenting these bows alongside strong, structured pieces like leather jackets and tailored wool overcoats, offering a dynamic contrast between softness and strength.
The silhouettes are another highlight. There’s a sense of exaggerated verticality in the lengthened hemlines, giving the collection a sense of timeless elegance. Dresses, skirts, and overcoats are all designed with clean, elongated lines that emphasize the wearer’s form, while vibrant hues of chartreuse, crimson, and lilac bring an unexpected pop against more muted tones. The combination of delicate silk skirts and chunky wool coats is a conversation between opposites, exploring the contrasts between fragility and resilience, tradition and modernity.
Through its exploration of femininity, Prada taps into something deeper—our connection to history and the natural world. The show’s set, with its greenery and mossy rocks, emphasizes this connection, highlighting the tension between indoor life and our instinctual ties to nature. Even the garments reflect this dialogue, with pieces like skirts that reveal hidden layers, giving a sense of unveiling and discovery.
Ultimately, this collection is a reflection of the times. It’s not just about fashion, but about understanding and embracing the emotional power behind it. By combining historical references with contemporary interpretations, Prada continues to push the boundaries of what fashion can represent.
