This collection is all about the layers of being a woman—both inside and out. Inspired by the idea of the “vagabond” woman, Prada’s pieces blend multiple eras , whether traveling the world or exploring her own personal journey, Prada’s collection feels deeply personal and complex. It’s a mix of old and new, with each piece telling its own story.
The collection brings back classic styles from the 1940s and 1950s, like full skirts, velvet dresses, and elegant capes. These pieces have a vintage feel but are given a modern twist with bold accessories and unique textures. For example, the beautiful capes were made with luxurious materials like tweed, fur, and brocade, creating a timeless, yet fresh look. The rich argyle tights paired with skirts and dresses gave the collection a playful, smart vibe.

What makes this collection stand out is the way Prada mixes different styles and textures together. The coats have a strong, military-inspired look with fur details, while the outfits also include more delicate, feminine touches like floral prints and intricate embroidery. Accessories, like sailor hats and book-shaped bags, add a sense of mystery, making us wonder about their deeper meanings.
Whether it’s the sexiness, the brocade, or the subtle nods to historical themes like wars or nursing uniforms, there’s always something unexpected in her shows.
Prada’s work is never just about the clothes—it’s about the feelings and stories they evoke. This collection explores who women are today, their struggles, joys, and everything in between. It’s a reflection of how women put themselves together, whether feeling powerful or vulnerable.
