Prada FW25/26: Volume, Velocity, and a Vision of Power Dressing
February 28, 2025- Milan Fashion Week, Prada Fall/Winter 2025/26
Milan never slows down, and neither does Prada. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons delivered their sharpest, most commanding collection in years. The show moved at an unrelenting pace—models storming through a labyrinth of scaffolding, designed by architect Rem Koolhaas. The energy was electric. The message was clear. Prada is in control.
The opening looks cut through the noise. Structured rhomboid dresses, sculptural coats with scalloped collars, and raw seams laid bare. The speed of the runway made every detail feel urgent. These weren’t garments meant to be admired from a distance. They demanded attention. Wool gabardine, calico, and jersey moved with weight and ease, balancing volume with precision. Ruching cinched skirts like stage curtains, pulling focus to the body without constraint.

The Prada Woman, Unfiltered
Then came the clones—Cindy Sherman references reimagined for now. Disheveled blondes in librarian glasses and wrinkled taffeta skirts. Pajama tops skewed just off-kilter, fastened with ribbon chokers and glistening rhinestones. The contrast was deliberate. Precision met disorder, refinement collided with irreverence.
And then, fur. Heavy, imposing, impossible to ignore. Boxy bear-brown pea coats cut at the thigh. Trapeze-cut coats with a lacquered sheen, somewhere between classic and dystopian. Oversized felt overcoats with extravagant stoles—a calculated exaggeration. Every piece was stripped of excess, yet somehow, everything felt maximalist.

Accessories at Full Volume
Nothing was quiet. Leather handbags, worn with purpose, carried a lived-in patina. Slingback pumps with exposed stitching sharpened every step. Even the most polished details felt slightly deconstructed, always teetering between elegance and defiance.
The collection had nothing to prove. Prada has never needed validation. But for those who questioned its relevance, this was an answer. A reminder that fashion is about who controls the conversation. And Prada still does.
