Prada Fall/Winter 2026 continues the ongoing conversation between Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, focusing on how menswear can evolve without abandoning what already defines it. The collection recently presented in Milan builds from familiar structures and adjusts them with precision.
The silhouettes set a clear direction. Coats are elongated and narrow, emphasising verticality and posture. The proportions feel deliberate, guiding how the body moves and stands rather than decorating it. The result is sharp but controlled. Classic menswear items anchor the collection. High-buttoning topcoats, trench coats layered with utility-style capes, quilted leather jackets, and knitwear worn close to the body create a wardrobe that feels functional and considered. Layers are used to add structure and function.
Prints introduce visual variation without dominating the clothes. Collaged imagery draws from different historical references, placed in a non-literal way that avoids direct illustration. These details add texture and complexity, but remain secondary to cut and construction. What stands out is restraint. The garments don’t rely on exaggerated styling or overt statements. Construction is precise, materials feel intentional, and the clothes reveal their complexity gradually. Everything is edited.
The show took place at the Deposito of Fondazione Prada, a space that mirrors the collection’s approach. Open, industrial, and stripped back, it allows the clothes to be read clearly, without distraction. Prada’s new collection feels grounded and assured. The Italian House focuses on refining its language rather than redefining it, presenting a collection built on continuity, clarity, and control.
