Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have left the fashion world dazed, shocked and wanting more after their Fall/Winter 2025 Prada runway. Held at Fondazione Prada’s Deposito the gloomy infrastructure left guests sitting amongst metal scaffolding and layers of dynamic runway. A luxurious carpet flowed through this metallic architecture designed by Catherine Martin, giving the area a hint of opulence.
This show aimed to question societal norms regarding women’s femininity, beauty and restrictive way of dressing. This was definitely achieved as models strutted with bed-hair ridden looking barnet’s, definitely a trend that will now surface: the scruffy up-do. Not only this, but this collection rejected fitting and flattery within their cut and structure leaving dresses boxy and loosely fitting creating unconventional silhouettes.
Knitwear heavily implemented this collection with pieces such as knit dresses taking to the runway. These were casually paired with oversized coats creating a contemporary balance between the conventional warmth of Winter clothing with modernity underneath.
Interjecting with old, classic takes on fashion Prada’s collection created a mixed hue of masculinity and femininity within the designs. Models were styled in oversized trousers and chunky blazers with a contrasting material choice of lace detailing on dresses. This juxtaposing mixture curated an artistic gallery of clothing that clearly is asking questions on societal fashion and norms, why should we dress a certain way?
When it came to the colour palette of this controversial collection it was kept neutral and tame; however, on occasion a vibrant, gaudy piece would be revealed demonstrating shades of greens, pinks and blues. Keeping guests on their feet with the random splashes of childish colour. The frumpy, floral dress set signifies this random shuffle of bright colors as models wore them with accompanying heels and styled the bow detailing in their centre.
A specific look that created a bold statement amongst the assemblage was the rouge knit jumper worn over a white shirt and dark wash jeans. This bright red piece caught attention in a sea full of vague colours and aids to paint the picture of less conventional dressing. Women can wear shirts, it doesn’t have to be a male associated garment.
As far as accessories are concerned there were many pieces to signify. Some models were styled in small framed glasses to add to their bulky look. This modern take on specs illustrates Prada’s inclusive, modern approach as they let what could have been seen as a flaw in the past, become part of their aesthetic. Additionally, petite clutches and handbags were paired with nearly every outfit, colour matching the most eye-catching garment.
Overall, the Prada Fall/Winter ‘25 collection was a melancholy reflection of the economic and social status of the world, asking questions through the art of fashion.
