Prada serves up luxury fashion’s version of pasta pomodoro at Milan Fashion Week
The collection strips menswear to universal basics in leather and technical fabrics, with Prada and Simons rejecting complication and decoration.
- During MilanFashion Week on Sunday, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons unveiled a new Prada menswear collection reimagining jeans-inspired basics in leather and technical fabrics.
- Seeking to reconnect Fashion with the way people dress, the designers rejected "useless design" and chose jeans as the foundation to create universal pieces.
- Most looks featured buttery leather in monochromatic shades like antique white, burgundy, and turquoise, while only a handful of closing looks were actually fashioned from denim.

- Simons drew an analogy to "pasta pomodoro" when discussing basic ingredients, as the designers aimed to break the perception of typical luxury in high Fashion.
