Prada's latest menswear collection, revealed at Milan Fashion Week on Sunday, deftly merged primitive elements with a cinematic flair. Co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons showcased creations that featured faux fur collars, shearling details, and elements described as "savage, primitive cavemen." Simons noted the aim was to evoke warmth and humanity while maintaining a sense of beautiful domesticity. Inspiration stemmed from broad cinematic references without adhering to specific films or characters. The show presented scuffed cowboy boots, knitwear mimicking western attire, and men's accessories like bracelets and chains. Floral patterns adorned some garments, adding a gentle contrast to the rougher elements.
The designers expressed an aspiration for the collection to imbue hope and humanity as forms of resistance in challenging times. Miuccia Prada stated that resisting with instinct, humanity, and romance is essential, emphasizing that "good work is also a form of resistance." The collection's optimistic message was underlined by a mix of distinctive silhouettes, including skinny trousers paired with oversized tops, and suits omitting shirts. A highlighted look encapsulated the collection's boyish essence, featuring straight-leg jeans, a knit top with striped details, and floral cowboy boots.
The fashion show setting at the Prada Foundation's Deposito art space featured Art Nouveau carpets and a raised metal runway, capturing a sense of contrast and ongoing creativity. The front row drew international celebrities like actor William Gao and actress Kim Tae-ri. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
