One thought of the collection as both typical and atypical of Prada. The austere minimalist side referenced Prada’s early ethos yet the logos, swimwear and sock shoes found Miuccia Prada’s unfamiliar territory: trend surfing.

Nick Robinson and Algee Smith attended the show for the first time.

Prada was seeking a “more elegant” style for her man, something youthful, but discreet – and not baggy sportswear or streetwear.

It can be done, even without a big boat or Roman ruins: reality-based cruise that’s not a snooze.

In a compelling collection, Miuccia Prada showed inspiration in part from the newest addition to the Fondazione Prada complex, also the show venue.

Prada hit it hard, sending out street silhouettes made from layers of black nylon.

Four unique items created by celebrated architects were revealed on the Prada runway, as some of them attended the show, together with Joe Alwyn.

Miuccia Prada’s collection with its message of feminine strength felt ponderous and, at times, pedantic.

All the quirk and romance of the fall collection was swept away – in a moment – by Miuccia Prada, who sent her preppy nerds and rustic hippies packing.

For the first time, the show was held at Fondazione Prada’s Observatory in Milan, a venue that was also an inspiration for the collection.

Politics, seduction and a set decorated with beds. Just the still of everyday chic from Miuccia Prada.

Working almost exclusively with leather and corduroy to give the collection a sense of “normality,” Prada riffed on simplicity, authenticity and the naïf, favoring the crude and unsophisticated over the polished and urbane.

In her breathtaking spring collection, Miuccia Prada de-blahed the classics with all the power of her potent Prada-ness.

Jessica Chastain, Raf Simons and Edward Norton were among the guests.
