MILAN (AP)– Miuccia Prada and her co-creative supervisor Raf Simons explained the most up to date Prada menswear partnership revealed throughout Milan Fashion Week on Sunday as raw and motion picture.
While the Milan Fall-Winter 2025-2026 path contained synthetic hair collars, Prada went the normal action past and developed primitive describing in shearling that looked nearly torn from the monster and established askew on outerwear lapels, or patchworked right into garments.
“Maybe, it reads as savage, primitive cavemen. I think that our aim was to make it feel warm and human and instinctive, but also kind of beautifully domestic in a way,” Simons claimed backstage.
Collection characteristics
Cinematic referrals were wide and general to any type of movie, supervisor or perhaps personality kind, Simons claimed. Western touches consisted of scuffed cowboy boots and knitwear imitating a wrangler’s t-shirt – without producing personalities or caricatures.
Feminine touches grew. Men were welcomed to use fashion jewelry, such as arm bands with small basketballs or baseballs. Chains with amulets hung from great knits. Fake fur-lined hoods can be found in florals.
The shape blended slim pants, typically in intense rock-‘n’-roll satin, with even more adequate quantities like pajama tops or a little old coats. Suits needed no tee shirts, as the developers promoted instinctive clothing.
One look appeared to boil down the collection to its boylike significance: Straight leg denims with a weaved top including candy striped describing, used with floral-stamped cowboy boots.
Fashion as definition
The developers claimed the collection was implied to supply hope in tough times, extending humankind as a type of resistance to whatever might be suppressing.
“It’s a little bit of a solution to what obviously is taking place. We need to withstand with our impulse, with our humankind, with our interest, with our love,” Prada claimed backstage. Good job, she claimed, is additionally a type of resistance.
The message consisted of in the collection “has to be optimistic by definition and in principle,’’ Prada said.
The Setting
The ever-transforming showroom inside the Prada Foundation’s Deposito contemporary art space was sheathed in Art Noveau carpet, and the runway was set on raised metal scaffolding. Simons said it represented contrasts, decoration and a work-in-progress.
Trend watch
Suits require no shirts. Two puffers are better than one. Raw shearling collars let loose primitive instincts. Subtle jewelry and florals for men. Cowboy boots.
Star power
Prada’s front row hailed from across the globe and disciplines, including British actor and musician William Gao, arriving with British musician Olivia Hardy, U.S. actor Keith Powers, South Korean actress Kim Tae-ri, Chinese table tennis player Ma Long and British actor Louis Patridge. A crowd of fans waited just beyond a barricade to cheer them all.
