On a glossy orange carpet in Milan, the Prada House, 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, showcased a universe where garments are designed to transform and adapt. The collection, oscillating between daily uniforms and sophisticated evening wear, presents a bold mix: a military ensemble is paired with a satin dress adorned with sequins, thus redefining the codes of elegance. Miuccia Prada states:
“This collection is a reaction to uncertainty – clothing that can evolve, change, adapt.”
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 highlighting the autonomy of the modern woman. Raf Simons adds: “We started from 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 era, 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 free from conventions.
