Raf Simons, the renowned fashion designer, is now working with Prada, and the fashion world is excited to see what the two can create together. The two designers have already begun to put their unique spin on the iconic fashion house, introducing a futuristic edge to the brand. So far, it seems that the collaboration has been well-received, with the SS23 womenswear collection being a hit among critics and fans alike.
The latest collection from Prada, “Let’s Talk About Clothes,” is a perfect example of the team’s unique approach. Focusing on essentials, the collection is minimalistic, but far from simple. The collection features a variety of different styles, from boxy tailoring to billowing bomber jackets, all with a futuristic twist. The use of oversized collars and bold shoulders adds a touch of drama to the collection, while the use of a white, space-age fabric gives the collection a unique and otherworldly feel.
The collection also features a range of new accessories, including a new house signature leather tote bag that comes in a variety of glossy hues, and a variation of a derby shoe worn by most of the models.
Prada’s FW23 collection was presented in an eerie and unique manner, with incredibly low ceilings that raised into the pillars of Fondazione Prada. The techno music, models coming in from a concealed concrete archway, and the models’ attire all contributed to the futuristic and space-age atmosphere.
The designers behind the collection, Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada, spoke about the collection, with Simons stating that it is about archetypal clothing, and taking the recognizable but changing it through silhouette and cut. The collection is also about the DNA of Prada, clothes embedded with fragments of an identity that is recognizably Prada. Miuccia Prada added that the collection is about creating something useful for people today, and creating fashion with a significance and a meaning.
Overall, the collaboration between Raf Simons and Prada is proving to be a powerful combination, with the two designers pushing the boundaries of fashion to create something truly unique and exciting. The collection is a perfect blend of the two designers’ distinct visions, and it is clear that the fashion world is excited to see what they come up with next.
