Overview
- Prada’s co-designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons billed their show as “evolution without erasure,” sharpening familiar pieces into slim, precise silhouettes with protective capes and long coats.
- Raf Simons said the aim was to make ideas clear and comforting by creating something new from what is already known.
- Ralph Lauren returned to Milan after 24 years with Polo and Purple Label presentations revisiting tweeds, varsity pieces and Western touches under senior creative director John Wrazej.
- Zegna emphasized roomier proportions and fabric-led tailoring in natural tones, pairing stripped-back coats with relaxed pleated trousers.
- Giorgio Armani presented its first collection since the founder’s death with a “cangiante” theme, as Leo Dell’Orco received a standing ovation at the brand’s headquarters.
