Prada kicked off Milan Fashion Week with a bold and unconventional show that challenged traditional fashion norms. Models walked the runway wearing bras as tops and carried handbags shaped like bras, according to multiple reports. The event, held at the Deposito venue of the Fondazione Prada, featured a minimalist, brightly lit runway with white lights shining up through the floor. Guests were seated on transparent Perspex benches, adding to the modern and experimental feel of the space. The collection showcased a mix of lingerie and outerwear, with models wearing black lace bralettes paired with low-slung skirts, and some sporting white bandeaus with thigh-high split skirts. Others were seen in black bras with pleated skirts and bright green handbags. This trend of using underwear as outerwear was also seen at other fashion shows, such as those by Erdem, Simone Rocha, and Burberry, where bras were worn over shirts or under sheer blouses. However, Prada took the concept further by omitting shirts entirely in several looks. The collection also included elements of business casual attire, such as knee-length skirts, sleeveless V-neck knits, and tailored jackets. However, these pieces often leaned toward the informal, with some models wearing open shirts tucked into midi skirts or going without tops altogether. Coordinated outfits were also present, like a sharp lime-green leather jacket and matching pleated skirt, both edged in black, and a green-and-black swirling print skirt paired with a bandeau and dark sunglasses. The contrast between masculine and feminine elements was clear, with heavy leather jackets worn over delicate mini dresses and evening skirts adorned with sparkling floral appliqué paired with open camisoles that revealed bras. The color palette featured pale blue and baby pink organza, royal purple, and green on bags and accessories, similar to those seen in Edeline Lee’s London Fashion Week collection. Footwear included pointed kitten heels and peep-toe shoes, giving the collection a nostalgic nod to the early 2010s. Prada’s design duo, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, received a standing ovation after their bow, and the runway was filled with audience photography. The collection questioned traditional expectations of well-dressed appearances, using low-slung skirts, exposed bras, and unruly hair as a deliberate rejection of conventional styling norms.
