For Fall/Winter 2026, Prada explores the concept of plurality. Under the direction of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the collection reflects the layered identities, shifting roles, and overlapping realities that define the modern woman, where garments embody multiple attitudes at once, proposing a wardrobe that adapts, transforms, and embraces complexity.
In January, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons presented their menswear collection, taking on the concept of “evolution without erasure.” New silhouettes were built on traces of tradition. While this concept could at some point echo into womenswear, this time it dives instead into a focused research of the multifaceted realities of a woman. What do we wear throughout the day? That depends on our lifestyle and routines. In understanding this, Miuccia and Raf study the silhouettes and rework the wardrobe into an elevated mix of fabrics: tailoring with satin, sportswear versus outerwear. Everything transforms no matter what, but the key element throughout the entire collection is layering.
Fifteen models walking the runway for sixty looks was not coincidental, as the intention was to present one look fragmented into distinct variants, creating a time-lapse within the garments. As in the menswear show, the worn-off, peeling effect could be seen in several pieces. Floral patterns were a winner too, seen even on socks and footwear, and we could not take our eyes off those feather-heel boots.
Elsewhere, sheer skirts, Harrington jackets, and knit upon knit unfolded throughout the collection, especially in the hand-knitted scarves set to become a key accessory of the upcoming season. After all, the archives of Prada continue to transition and find new ways to be interpreted every season, offering yet another fragmented proposal from the Prada universe.
