Overview
- The show, which opened Milan Fashion Week on Tuesday, presented 63 looks and featured a skirt in every single outfit.
- Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons framed the skirt as a creative 'frame' for the collection and Prada invoked her long‑running line that the skirt is 'like a T‑shirt' where she puts ideas.
- Runway styling emphasized underwear-as-outerwear — bralettes, bandeaus and small chest‑attached pouches called 'bra bags' — alongside heavy leather car coats and Velcro closures often embellished with crystals.
- The presentation drew strong industry attention and a star‑studded front row for its pared focus, and its timing coincided with controversy over comments by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who has since apologized.
- Built on Prada’s decades‑long fixation with skirts, the show both underlined the brand’s house identity and is likely to accelerate a skirt resurgence on social media and the wider retail market.
