At Prada, a reflection on femininity in constant transformation
The Prada show questions the multiple facets of femininity through constantly evolving clothes.
The Prada Autumn/Winter 2025-26 show , designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, questions the very notion of femininity, highlighting its fluid and ever-changing nature. Exploring concepts such as displacement, recontextualization and dematerialization, the designers deconstruct the traditional codes associated with femininity . Dresses, the quintessential symbols of this femininity, are constantly transformed, both in their form and in the way they are worn. Fragments of clothing move on the body, freed from their initial function, blurring the boundaries of their origin. These transformations redefine the meaning of each piece, creating new silhouettes thanks to the interaction between the different elements. Proportions are modified, adjusting the relationship between body and garment, while construction becomes more visible in a voluntary reduction of materials, with exposed raw seams. This aesthetic of rawness is opposed to gestures of glamour in accessories—jewelry, handbags, bows —that add a touch of decoration. This duality, visible both in the clothes and in the set of the show, where the metal structure and the refinement of the carpet designed by Catherine Martin coexist, illustrates the complexity of contemporary femininity and raises questions about its multiple facets and its fluctuating definition.
