The Italian fashion house Prada combined on Thursday in military style shirts with bell -shaped skirts and elegant evening gloves. The collection should turn traditional ideas of glamor upside down.
The co-creative director: Inside Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons again took up the topic of uniforms at their fashion show for spring/summer 2026 at the Milan fashion week. Their goal was to deconstruct traditional outfits.
Simons explained that the collection was a “new composition” of clothing. It should give the carrier: inside more freedom, although the fabric hardly touches the body in some places.
The looks included attached bags in uniform style on a dress with a soft skirt, overalls combined with paragraphs and a silky black jacket. Brats were loose and carried without the traditional hold. The skirts hung on the shoulders and clothes were raised on the hem to unveil another fabric underneath.
In conversation with the press behind the stage, Simons described this step as a “anti-sculptural approach”. “A woman can feel as beautiful, free, chic and luxurious in a uniform as in a flowing dress,” he said. “The clothes are also very interchangeable, you can wear them in a variety of ways,” he added.
The 76-year-old Miuccia Prada, who heads the family luxury empire, said she wanted to “try to create a new form of elegance”.
‘Casual elegance’ at Fendi
The day before, Silvia Venturini Fendi, another historical Italian brand, relied on soft, sensual shapes and happy colors. This should express what the brand calls the “casual elegance”.
Jackets with a raven balloon room and ruffled skirts were shown. There were also transparent organza shirts for her and her as well as suitable tops and skirts made of rotated silk knit.
True to the tradition of the brand, which started with leather and fur, the focus was on the bags. One of them was decorated with pearls that formed a flower pattern. This pattern was also picked up on other clothing.
“It’s about a feeling of casual and colorful well -being, with a romantic elegance,” said Fendi in the message about the show. “Simple gestures with complex work in the background.”
