Prada Puts Skirts Center Stage at Milan Fashion Week – WTOP News
- Prada kicked off Milan Fashion Week at the Deposito, where Uma Thurman and Maya Hawke attended the spring 2027 show together for the first time. The mother-daughter duo sat front row at the Italian fashion house's event.
- Designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons challenged conventional aesthetics by embracing what Prada calls "ugly" fashion. The collection rejected expectations that clothing must fit perfectly or appear finished, featuring bras worn as tops and carried as handbags.
- Models wore grey bandeau tops with matching "bra-shaped bags," while low-slung skirts and peep-toe heels added to the intentionally dishevelled aesthetic. Heavy leather jackets paired with delicate mini dresses throughout the collection.
- Thurman and Hawke coordinated their footwear, both wearing Prada sling-back kitten heels with geometric straps and subtle bow details. Miuccia Prada and Simons received a standing ovation from the audience, which included Naomi Watts, Sadie Sink, and Naomi Ackie.
- Similar trends appeared at recent Erdem, Simone Rocha, and Burberry shows, suggesting Prada's reliance on Noughties styling reflects a broader industry shift. The collection positions the house at the forefront of the season's evolving, unconventional design landscape.
