Prada Puts Skirts Center Stage at Milan Fashion Week – WTOP News
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons turned the garment into a 63-look study of femininity and versatility, with front-row stars watching from the first row.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons opened Milan Fashion Week with their Spring–Summer 2027 collection, featuring all 63 looks centered on the skirt as the defining garment.
- Designers framed the collection 'waist down,' referencing a 2005 exhibition and treating the skirt as a creative canvas while deliberately excluding trousers and dresses from the runway entirely.
- The collection paired bra tops and bandeaus with skirts, mixing industrial Velcro closures with delicate crystal embellishments. Simons said this 'illogical behavior' combined "the most industrial thing—velcro—and the most delicate thing—crystal embroidery."
- High-Profile guests including actress Naomi Watts, Uma Thurman, and Stranger Things star Maya Hawke filled the front row, underscoring the brand's cultural reach during the busy Milan schedule.
- While the Italian fashion chamber expects sector revenue to drop 1.6 percent this year, Prada reported better-than-expected results for the first half of 2026, positioning the skirt-focused collection as a commercial anchor amid industry headwinds.
