Maison Prada once again surprised the fashion system with its runway show for Fall/Winter 2024-25, creating a true experience that goes beyond merely presenting garments and accessories but offers a profound reflection. On what? Obviously, on today’s society, on the innovation of this wonderful sector, and identity.
The collection, signed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, mixes different fragments of stories and concepts encapsulated in the most authentic beauty. Here, the past becomes a creative tool capable of inventing the new. The runway highlights and plays with a perfect mashup of materials and shapes. Then, the association of fabrics often becomes a tale of an oxymoron, such as silk and wool. The silhouettes are decidedly fitted, expressing a non-trivial contemporary femininity.
Another distinctive element of the collection is, of course, the details, ranging from fabric fragments incorporated into garments to feathered helmets. Additionally, Prada’s Fall/Winter season pays special homage to the bow. In fact, many of the presented garments are adorned with bows in various shades.
Thus, Miuccia and Raf emphasize – once again – the importance of history and language in inspiring their creativity. This is one of the reasons why this runway seems to raise questions, stimulating conversation and inviting the audience to reflect on the meaning of fashion and its relationship with the past and present. This approach reflects the fundamental impulse of human beings to communicate and express themselves, even through fashion.
