#FASHION: Prada's skirts take a bow at Milan Fashion Week
PRADA kicked off Milan Fashion Week by returning to the fashion mainstay of skirts, bringing a decidedly feminine edge to the luxury brand’s favourite garment.
Prada returned to the traditional skirt for their Spring-Summer 2027 collection during Milan Fashion Week, reimagining the classic garment with a feminine touch. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons showcased various skirt designs, ranging from grey and pleated to green and straight, adorned with floral patterns on minis peeking out from under leather coats.
The models carried the skirts with grace, stiletto heels in hand, while celebrities Naomi Watts, Michelle Williams, and Uma Thurman attended the event. This season marked a busy week for Prada, who recently opened a new flagship store in the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, expanding their presence to include a new underground gallery, museum, and private salons.
Despite the luxury sector's recovery from macroeconomic challenges, Prada reported better-than-expected half-year results in July, with shrinking margins attributed to the Versace integration. Meanwhile, other fashion houses, like Gucci and Fendi, prepared for their upcoming runway shows, while Dior unveiled its latest multi-storey boutique on Via Montenapoleone.
The Italian fashion industry faced a relatively challenging start to 2026, with a 1.6% revenue decline expected for the year, but optimism lies in the changing faces of designers and the sector's resilience.
