Prada: Hemlines can flow, but colors must pop.

The show, held in the Deposito showroom at the Fondazione Prada in Milan, featured a minimalist design.

The vibrant orange flooring was the sole focal point. The resin flooring had a subtle mirrored effect, and as the models walked, the shimmering light intertwined with the white walls, creating a dreamy dialogue between light and shadow.

Interestingly, the new collection wasn't directly centered around orange, but rather on the color's vibrant energy.

It was a symbolic gesture, responding to the gloom and dullness of the world with brightness and saturation. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons are also responding to the overload of contemporary culture through the refinement and filtering of their sartorial language.

Inside the show, the front row guests also embodied the "Prada style of relaxation." Brand ambassador Lee Hyun wore a simple suit, exuding a clean, sharp aura. Guan Xiaotong's effortless casualness, layered over a sweatshirt and skirt, embodies the chic aesthetic that young people today yearn for. Standing side by side, the two offer the perfect footnote for the launch of the new season: effortless yet eye-catching.

This expression of a high degree of freedom aligns perfectly with Raf Simons' philosophy: "We start from a sense of freedom—expressing it through clothing. It's a license to freely combine and construct different elements, and it's also about liberating the body. Fashion is no longer a sculpture imposed on the female body. We move towards the opposite—not only freeing the body from constraints, but also embracing freedom on a spiritual level."

Many looks feature different pieces in a variety of colors, breaking the established rule that wearing no more than three colors is considered sophisticated. Earth tones meet bright pink, military green meets bright yellow, and even some unconventional combinations unexpectedly create a wonderfully surprising aesthetic.

This isn't a random patchwork; it's a reimagining of color. This spring and summer, Prada is taking color to its extremes. It's not just refreshing and beautiful; it's a cultural signal: escaping dullness and over-the-top talk of a "global downturn," using color to demonstrate the vibrant energy that clothing can bring.

Uniforms can be worn on equal terms with evening gowns, work coats dance alongside lace skirts. Prada uses seemingly contradictory elements to reconstruct a new kind of elegance.

This approach elevates "layering" beyond mere trend, imbuing it with architectural silhouettes, sharp tailoring, and Prada's precise control. In other words, it's not just a casual stacking, but a meticulously orchestrated "aesthetic of opposites."

The layered "multi-layered" looks are like a "license to dress freely" issued by Prada to women this spring and summer. A uniform layered over a knit sweater, paired with a light slip dress, and the essential long gloves for a more elevated look, embracing all the "buffs" in one outfit, creating a woman who appears to be "woven."

Fashionable bras that lack structure yet maintain their shape represent a return to and redefine the female wardrobe.

Skirts are lifted to the shoulders, and leather jackets with doll collars combine coolness with playfulness...

The fundamental nature of clothing is fundamentally reconsidered. They embrace the body in extraordinary ways, minimizing structure and revitalizing femininity into a light and fluid form.

These subtle design ingenuity and form-shifting are never merely eye-catching gimmicks, but rather, Prada's unique ability to empower clothing with multiple contexts: practical for everyday wear and a tool for unspoken expression in social settings.

The deliberately retained pleats and elastic waistline—these imperfect details aren't oversights, but rather a statement. They challenge stereotypes of "ultimate elegance" and transform "unrefined" into strength.

They can wear shirts and workwear with sharp, ironed lines, transforming into office beauties with the precision of architectural blueprints, or they can create a new kind of sexiness in inverted V-neck tube tops and lace skirts.

As Miuccia Prada said, "When we create, we can't help but think about the world we live in. The future is full of uncertainty."

This collection is about coping with uncertainty—clothing can transform, change, and adapt. Through the combination of different elements, in the concept of 'construction,' women gain choice and freedom, a sense of control and agency. Fashion can be fundamentally connected to the world, imbued with meaning and purpose, and explore how to face the world and how to survive."

Fashion at this moment is no longer simply defined as "elegant" or "playful." It is an exploration of contemporary identity and temperament. It is a uniform, but also desire; it is subtraction, but also tension; it is a cold rationality, but also an ambiguous emotion.
